Fact Check: Odisha Matric exam to be held from June 14?

Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Government has cancelled the Matric (Class-10) examinations for the year 2021 in view of the second wave of COVID-19.

However, a morphed and fake Twitter post of Odisha School and Mass Education Minister Samir Ranjan Dash is doing the rounds on various social media platforms, which claims that the Matric exams will be held between June 14 and 26.

The minister today clarified about the fake post and urged everyone not to believe it.
