Haryana Board blunder: Disabled student gets 2 marks in Maths, scores 100 on re-evaluation

A major blunder by the Haryana Board has come to light. A differently-abled student from Haryana's Hisar district was erroneously given 2 marks in Mathematics by Haryana Board. However, when the answer sheet was re-evaluated, the student scored full marks. The Class 10 student Supriya, who is visually impaired, revealed that her answer sheet was not checked following the proper procedures for a 'blind candidate'. After re-evaluation, she secured 100 marks.
