News: On February 11, 2023, a demonstration in Dehradun against paper leaks and recruiting scams descended into violence.

 

  • The Uttarakhand Competitive Examination (Measures for Control and Prevention of Unfair Means in Recruitment) Ordinance, 2023, which prohibits the use of unfair means in tests, received the governor’s approval the following day.
  • The rule includes provisions for fines of up to 10 crore rupees and life in jail for those who violate it.
  • The regulation aims to stop offences involving disrupting the integrity of exams, using unfair methods, disclosing question papers, and other irregularities.
  • It includes open tests for hiring into positions with the state government, as well as independent government bodies, as well as authorities, businesses, and institutions supported by grants from the state government.
  • The crimes are punishable by law, not subject to bail, and not compoundable.
