Haryana’s Transport Minister Sh. Anil Vij announced that on July 26 and 27, 2025, general passengers will also be allowed to travel in the buses operating in various cities of Haryana for the Common Entrance Test (CET). He said that his suggestion was accepted by Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, as July 27 is the festival of Teej in Haryana, during which many people travel with their families. He added that it is equally important to ensure smooth, uninterrupted and safe public transportation services for the general public.
Providing further details, Sh. Vij said that he had written to the Chief Minister regarding this matter, and the CM has agreed with the Transport Minister's recommendation. As per the proposal, buses scheduled and routed for CET candidates will now also be accessible to general passengers to avoid inconvenience during the festive period.
In his letter, Sh. Vij wrote to the Chief Minister that this is not justified that 20% buses cannot take load of entire Haryana on July 26 and 27.As on the occasion of Teej festival large number of citizen travel on that day. Therefore, additional arrangements should be made for the general public, to which the Chief Minister agreed.
It is important to note that 27th July 2025 also coincides with the celebration of Teej, a widely observed cultural and religious festival in Haryana by which, a large number of citizens, particularly women, travel to visit family and temples. Hence, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted, and safe public transport services for the general public is of equal importance.
It is worth noting that, in response to a proposal related to travel arrangements for the HSSC CET written examination, the Transport Minister were said that “In view of the Common Eligibility Test (CET) being conducted by HSSC on 26th and 27th July 2025, it has been decided to provide free travel facility to all registered CET candidates for appearing in the examination across the state.
However, it is important to note that 27th July 2025 also coincides with the celebration of Teej, a widely observed cultural and religious festival in Haryana by which, a large number of citizens, particularly women, travel to visit family and temples. Hence, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted, and safe public transport services for the general public is of equal importance.
Therefore, it is necessary to determine that alternative and special arrangements have been made for the convenience of general public and commuters to attend their religious, social, cultural, day to day and other family functions etc., so that no inconvenience and hurdle be faced by them on these days”.
