- Uttarakhand SIT to probe exam irregularities
- Retired HC judge to monitor inquiry
- Haridwar exam centre under review
- Strict action against guilty officials
Uttarakhand has intensified its efforts to ensure fairness and transparency in state-level recruitment exams, following recent complaints over alleged irregularities. Chief Secretary Anand Bardhan announced that a Special Investigation Team (SIT), headed by an Additional SP-level officer, will probe the case across the entire state under the supervision of a retired High Court judge.
SIT Investigation Across All Districts
The Chief Secretary told reporters that the SIT’s mandate covers every district of Uttarakhand. Both the retired judge and the SIT will travel to different locations, gathering information directly from candidates, citizens, and stakeholders. Anyone with evidence or relevant input regarding the exam will be able to submit information to the panel.
According to media reports, the government seeks to ensure impartiality by involving a judicial authority in monitoring. Authorities clarified that until the one-month-long investigation concludes, the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission will not take further steps regarding the exam process.
Strict Action and Preventive Measures
Bardhan emphasized that strict action will be taken against anyone found guilty of negligence or malpractice. The inquiry will also address concerns regarding the Haridwar examination centre, which emerged as a focal point after irregularity complaints. Officials assured that individuals responsible for lapses at the centre would face tough consequences.
As per several media sources, the government is framing additional safeguards to prevent such incidents in the future. These steps are expected to tighten monitoring mechanisms and restore candidates’ trust in the exam system.
Candidate Interest as Top Priority
The Chief Secretary reiterated that the state government considers students’ and aspirants’ interests as the top priority. Maintaining transparency in the recruitment process is equally critical to protect employment opportunities for youths and uphold confidence in public examinations.
The SIT probe, combined with retired judicial oversight, signals a robust attempt to restore credibility in Uttarakhand’s exam system while ensuring absolute accountability for any misconduct.
The one-month timeline for the investigation is expected to bring clarity and set a precedent for stricter vigilance in future examinations.
Ongoing monitoring and stricter preventive measures are likely to reinforce trust in the recruitment process, ensuring that young aspirants across Uttarakhand can appear for exams without fear of malpractice or foul play.
