Schools to cops: Ensure CAPF moves in after exams

Published on March 22, 2026

Kolkata schools are urging local police to ensure that the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) are deployed swiftly following the completion of examinations. This move comes in response to the growing concerns about student safety and the need for increased security during and after exam periods.

The administration has expressed that the presence of CAPF personnel will not only serve to protect students as they navigate their way to and from school, but also help maintain order in the neighborhood. Officials believe that having additional security forces in place will deter any potential disturbances or incidents that might arise as students gather for their exams.

Schools, particularly those in densely populated areas, have identified a pattern of tension and unruly behavior during exam seasons. These feelings are compounded among students, making a secure environment essential for their concentration and performance.

In an official announcement, a school spokesperson stated, “We are committed to ensuring that our students feel safe during this crucial period. Engaging CAPF post-exams is a proactive step to support our community and reassure parents.”

Local police have acknowledged the request, indicating that they will work to coordinate with CAPF officials to ensure a strategic and effective deployment. They emphasized the significance of a collaborative effort between schools and law enforcement to promote a conducive atmosphere for learning.

This initiative reflects a broader trend in educational institutions looking to bolster safety measures as they navigate the complexities of student welfare in a bustling urban environment. As authorities work to implement these changes, both parents and educators remain hopeful for a smoother examination season ahead.
