Exam centre supervisor at Palwal suspended

The government has ordered the suspension orders of the supervisor of an exam centre and five policemen in the district for their failure to check copying in the ongoing board exams of the Haryana Education Department.

The DC, Dr Harish Kumar Vashisht, said while the supervisor of Centre No. 33 had been suspended with immediate effect, similar action had been recommended against five policemen. Strict action had also been recommended against the principal of the school where copying cases had surfaced recently.

The DC said the action had come in the wake of alleged irregularities on part of officials deployed on exam duty.

Claiming that senior district, police and administration officials had been making surprise checks at exam centres, he said any negligence would be dealt with strictly.

He said the district education authorities had been directed to hold meetings with the management committees of all schools and village heads to ensure there was no cheating.
