India-Pak tension: HP taking proactive steps to ensure public safety

Shimla, May 10 (UNI) As tensions escalate along the India-Pakistan border, Himachal Pradesh is taking proactive steps to ensure public safety.
Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) Managing Director Dr. Nipun Jindal confirmed a noticeable decline in passenger numbers on the Jammu-Pathankot-Amritsar route.
“The situation is being closely monitored, especially for night operations on the Amritsar-Jammu-Katra and Pathankot routes. Services will be adjusted in public interest,” he said, urging travelers to stay informed and plan accordingly.
Trekking firms, including Trek The Himalayas, have issued advisories for trekkers in Himachal, Uttarakhand, and Jammu & Kashmir. While most treks remain on schedule, batches for Kareri Lake, Sar Pass, and Markha Valley have been rescheduled as a precautionary measure.
In a significant move, Himachal Pradesh Technical University has postponed the Common Entrance Test (HPCET-2025), originally slated for May 10–11. The exam was to be held at 15 centers in Himachal and one in Chandigarh. The decision was taken in view of the prevailing uncertainty.
The Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education, on the other hand, announced the results of the Class 10 and 12 board examinations on Friday.
