Dhami also mentioned ongoing developments such as the Industrial Smart City project in Khurpia and the upcoming foundation stone laying for an International Airport at Pantnagar.
Addressing issues related to education, the Chief Minister said, "We have enacted the strictest anti-cheating law to punish the cheating mafia in our state. As a result, in four years, all exams were successfully completed, and 25,000 candidates secured government jobs. In 2022-23, we implemented the anti-cheating Law, and since then, we have worked to imprison over 100 cheating mafias... However, some people are trying to push the future of our youth into darkness," he said.
The Chief Minister accused the coaching and cheating mafia of joining forces to create unrest in the state.
"Paper leak conspiracy is being organised. The coaching mafia and cheating mafia have united to start a 'cheating jihad' in the state. Even before the probe, chaos is being spread in the state. Those who have never given any exam are leading the unrest," he said.
He warned that strict action would be taken against those responsible for the paper leak. "Strict action would be taken against those who are responsible for the paper leak. Many people are involved in cheating in the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) exam. Police have caught them and they will be behind bars. This is being done to hinder the recruitment process," Dhami added.
The Chief Minister said a Special Investigation Team (SIT) will be formed to probe the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) exam question paper leak case, and firm action will be taken based on the investigation. (ANI)
