General passengers are requested not to commute," he said in a tweet.

While the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test is scheduled to be held on September 13, engineering entrance exam JEE-Main has been planned from September 1-6.

Around 8.58 lakh candidates have registered for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main and 15.97 lakh students for NEET.

These exams were deferred twice in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
