Guwahati, March 13

The Assam government on Monday said the general science question paper of the Class 10 state board exam was leaked and the test has been cancelled.

A police case was filed and the CID has been ordered to investigate the matter, Education Minister Ranoj Pegu said.

“Last night, the Secondary Education Board, Assam (SEBA), got some clue that today’s paper (general science) has been leaked. Accordingly, the exam was cancelled. The next date will be announced in due course of time,” Pegu told reporters here.

A detailed probe will reveal the source of the leak and the culprits behind it, he said.

“There is no question of involvement of teachers. The papers are kept at police stations and taken to examination centres only on the morning of the test day,” Pegu added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
