HRTC offers free travel to NEET candidates from June 20-22
Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) will provide free travel to candidates appearing in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance (NEET) re-test, scheduled to be held on June 21. An HRTC spokesperson said the free travel facility had been granted in the ordinary buses to help candidates reach their examination centres and return home conveniently.
The spokesperson said the decision had been taken in the larger interest of students appearing in the national-level examination. The candidates can avail the free travel facility by producing their NEET-2026 Admit Card, which will serve as proof of identity, place of residence and examination centre.
He informed that the facility would be available for one onward and one return journey between the candidate’s place of residence and the examination centre. The concession will remain valid from June 20 to June 22.
The spokesperson further said the free travel facility would be admissible only in ordinary HRTC buses. Conductors have been directed to make necessary entries on the candidate’s admit cards in respect of the journeys undertaken under the concession to prevent any misuse of the facility.
He said that all HRTC unit officers had been instructed to ensure strict compliance with the directions and maintain a proper record of students availing the concession.
