Shimla, June 22 -- Denying any irregularities in the police constable recruitment examination held on June 15, Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (HPPSC) has warned of legal action against those making "baseless" allegations on various social media platforms. In a statement, HPPSC said that the police constable recruitment examination was conducted in a fair and transparent manner with the help of district administration, strictly adhering to all prescribed procedures and security protocols. The statement comes a day after leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur blamed the state government of trying to cover up alleged irregularities in recruitment exam. Addressing a press conference, the former chief minister (CM) had claimed that there have been several complaints of large-scale irregularities in police recruitment. He had demanded the constitution of a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the irregularities and resignation of CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. A few candidates met the Chamba deputy commissioner on Thursday alleging cheating at their centres after which the district authorities forwarded the details to the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission. In a statement issued on June 21, the HPPSC said that the comprehensive frisking measures, CCTV surveillance, and standard operating procedures were followed at the examination centres. The commission said that however, it has come to the notice of the HPPSC that certain claims regarding cheating/copying in the examination centres have been circulating on social media platforms after the answer key was uploaded on the website. htc...
