In recent months, several paper leak cases have been unearthed in Uttarakhand. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said, "Our government is committed to reform the entire system. Those found involved in irregularities in recruitment examinations will not be spared. "An SIT investigation was immediately ordered into complaints of paper leak of the examinations held for the recruitment of AEs/JEs (assistant engineers and junior engineers). The guilty have been booked. It will be ensured that stern action is taken against them."
People involved in irregularities in recruitment examinations have been sent to jail earlier as well, he added. Dhami also pointed out that arrangements are being made to ensure that recruitment examinations are held in a transparent manner. "No injustice against the youth of the state will be permitted. We will soon have the country's biggest anti-copying law," Dhami said.
