On September 28, a 14-year-old girl was raped by a man from Bihar in Sabarkantha district, Gujarat. This incident triggered rage among the citizens which led to violence in the state. As of now, lakhs of migrant workers from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh was forced to evacuate the state. The CPO of Northern Railway, Angaraj Mohan said, “The board is monitoring the situations in Gujarat closely and has also instructed the regional centres in Gujarat on this note. Till now, we have received few representations from candidates, the dates will be deferred if candidates are unable to appear for the examination.” Hence, the candidates in Gujarat are advised to keep a tab on the official website of RRB Group D Ahmedabad; rrbadmedabad.gov.in for any updates related to Group D examinations.

RRB has been serious and took stern steps in the benefit of the students. In September, the board had to reschedule the exams in Kerala due to flood and in Odisha because of Adivasi Bandh.
