FPSC exam centre

Published March 10, 2016

I WOULD like to draw the authorities’ attention towards the miseries being suffered by candidates whose examination centre is in the provincial FPSC office in Mustafa Town, Lahore. I am also appearing as a candidate from this centre.

This centre has no facilities to accommodate candidates during recess before the second paper of the day is conducted.

Moreover, the students are under strain as the area is surrounded by an open drain that gives off an unbearable odour.

During the nearly three-hour recess most candidates go hungry owing to the pathetic condition of food outlets in the vicinity.

I have penned these lines with the hope that something can be done about the matter.
