A major decision has been taken to cancel the Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission’s graduate-level examination. The examination will be rescheduled within three months. The single-member inquiry commission formed for the investigation submitted its report to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami today. The commission conducted the graduate-level examination in the state on September 21st, in which approximately 150,000 candidates participated.
The UKSSSC has issued orders to cancel the recruitment examination. The commission stated that this will not affect other examinations. The decision to cancel the examination was taken by the state government today after the single-member inquiry commission submitted its report.
Following the paper leak incident, youth from the state were protesting under the banner of the Uttarakhand Unemployed Association. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Dhami reached out to the youth. After being assured of action on their demands, the youth ended their protest. The youth had given the government ten days to take action in the matter, which was expiring today. The inquiry committee submitted its report, and the government decided to cancel the exam.
Three pages of the exam paper were leaked via mobile phone from a center in Haridwar and went viral on social media during the exam. Students protested demanding the cancellation of the exam and a CBI investigation. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami personally visited the protest site and announced a CBI inquiry.
