From celebrities to common men, all eyes are on this Mega Hindu Festival, and despite the recent stampede, people are in no mood to stop. As the festival continues, Uttar Pradesh's 10th and 12th-class students face a precarious situation. Exams are a source of anxiety for millions of students in this country, and most of them can't wait for them to be over as soon as possible.
