In order to curb the irregularities and use of unfair means in public examinations, Arunachal Pradesh government tabled The Arunachal Pradesh Public Examination (Measures to Prevent Unfair Means in Recruitment) Bill, 2024 in the state assembly on Friday, on the first day of the Budget session.
The proposed law has strict provisions of punishment of imprisonment and penalties, debarring of candidates from appearing recruitment examinations as well as attachment and confiscation of property. A provision dealing with designation of Special Court for speedy trial of such offences has also been provided in the bill.
Taking to media persons in the state assembly premises, Chief Minister Pema Khandu said that it is a very good initiative of the state government to curb the ill practice of paper-leaks in public examinations. He said that once the bill is passed no one will dare to do such malpractices. Mr. Khandu said that this Bill is more stringent than the national law.
