Toppers of the class 10 board examination in West Bengal have been advised by the board authorities to avoid felicitation programs due to the pandemic. “Those of you who have done well will receive many invitations to attend felicitation programs. This is a very joyful moment for you. But because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing crisis it is better to avoid such programs. Try to stay indoors as much as possible.
