Itanagar, Feb 16 (PTI): Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Sunday directed officials to fast track probe into alleged irregularities in the examination conducted by the Arunachal Pradesh Staff Selection Board (APSSB).
In a statement, the chief minister said, "I have directed the chief secretary for fast-track probe into the alleged irregularities in the exam conducted by the APSSB ..."
Khandu said those involved in the irregularities would not be spared no matter how influential they may be.
"None can play with the future of our youths. Those trying to trample with the rights of our people has no other place but behind bars. An impartial investigation will be carried out leaving no stone unturned," Khandu said in a Facebook post.
He said the creation of APSSB was the biggest reform brought by his government for bringing transparency in the recruitment process and for the goal of a ''progressive Arunachal''.
The APSSB came under public criticism after a suspicious optical mark recognition (OMR) sheet was seen doing the rounds on social media, soon after the results of the exam for lower divisional clerk (LDC), junior secretariat assistant (JSA) and other posts were published on its website on February 14.

SIT should immediately expose APSSB examination fiasco: AAPSU

ITANAGAR, Feb 16: The All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) has strongly condemned the anomalies that have been reported in the just concluded APSSB examination.
Terming it as a "disturbing development", AAPSU urged the SIT to immediately go into the crux of the whole fiasco in a time-bound manner to unearth the truth, along with exemplary punishment to the guilty officials.
The incident has shaken the very foundation of "fair play" as envisaged by the present state government in recruiting genuine talents and has once again let loose the wagging tails about corruption in the recruiting board as seen in the past,  General Secretary, AAPSU Tobom Dai stated in its press statement.
