Dehradun, Sept. 26 -- Chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday said attempts are being made to disrupt the state's recruitment process by raising demands for a CBI probe into the alleged paper leak even as the state government appointed a retired high court judge to supervise the investigation in the case. Dhami said his government's priority is to conduct recruitments in a fair, transparent and time-bound manner. Speaking at the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Educational Excellence Awards ceremony here where he honoured 75 meritorious high school and intermediate students who secured top 10 positions in board examinations, Dhami said, "Attempts are being made to disrupt the recruitment process through a CBI investigation, while the government's objective is to conduct recruitment with transparency and timeliness." "The government will not allow any injustice to be done to any youth due to delays in recruitment. Some people are trying to create chaos on the basis of a single complaint," he added. State officials said Justice BS Verma, a retired judge of the Uttarakhand high court, will oversee the work of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) which is already probing the case, ensuring that the investigation is conducted in a fair and transparent manner. Verma will also have the authority to visit districts, review complaints, and guide the SIT as needed, according to a statement issued by the state government. The chief minister reiterated that Uttarakhand has implemented the country's strictest anti-cheating law, under which more than 100 members of the "cheating mafia" have been jailed. "Recently, there was an unsuccessful attempt to leak exam papers. Strict laws already exist for such cases, and decisive action will be taken," he added. Dhami further announced that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to probe the recent irregularities in paper copying and assured that every cheating mafia in the state would be arrested and punished. Reiterating the state's tough stance against paper leaks and malpractices, Dhami said Uttarakhand has enacted the country's strictest anti-cheating law, under which more than 100 members of the so-called "cheating mafia" have been jailed. He said that over 25,000 youths have secured government jobs in the past four years compared to only 16,000 appointments in the first 21 years of statehood. "Some people are unhappy with the transparency in recruitments and are conspiring to leak papers in an organised manner to jeopardize the future of our youth. Recently, an unsuccessful attempt was made to leak papers, and efforts are now being made to create chaos on the basis of a single complaint. Strict laws already exist and action will be taken," he said. Dhami said a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been already formed to probe the recent examination irregularities, assuring that "every cheating mafia in the state will be arrested and punished."...
