In Rajasthan, the government is now in action mode against those involved in irregularities in recruitment exams. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has directed robust arrangements to stop discrepancies in recruitment. Consequently, the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police (DG) will now monitor recruitment exams. Before the exams, direct communication will be established from the Chief Secretary and DG level to the district collector and police superintendent, and all necessary arrangements will be made. The Chief Minister has directed the deployment of sufficient officers and police forces in districts for monitoring examination centers.
In a high-level meeting regarding exams, the Chief Minister said that information about suspicious activities at exam centres and coaching institutes should be closely monitored.
