In lieu of, the bank authorities decided that necessary buses will be arranged for the applicants to come and go to the examination centers in Assam. But it is allagged that the cooperative bank authorities did not inform the examinees about the operation of TRTC bus service on time. Many have come to know about the arrangement of bus services too late. Meanwhile, since May 2, before the start of examination in several centers of Assam, due to heavy rains, rail and road communication has been cut off in Tripura. Due to strange circumstances, many candidates could not go to Assam to sit for the exam.
