Vijayawada/Visakhapatnam: Andhra Pradesh Government on Wednesday denied reports in the electronic media and micro-blogging sites on alleged leakage of 10th class question paper.
In a communique, the Chief Minister's Office stated that some social media/channels has reported about leak of 10th class question paper. "This information is totally false and mischievous.
We came to know that by around 11 am someone started circulating the photos of the 10th class question paper, taken in an exam centre.
Since the exam started at 9.30 am, it cannot be called a leak. It is clearly a mischief created by someone," the government said.
According to an official, they had already identified the centre as ZPHS Anki Reddypalli in Kolimagundla mandal in Nandyal district. Action was immediately taken to identify the person responsible and arrested him.
Strict action will be taken against the chief supervisor and invigilator responsible for the mischief.
In the light of this incident, all nodal officers, regional directors and District Education Officers have been directed to be more vigilant and strictly enforce the no mobile phones into the exam centre rule. All staff on duty (invigilators and others) should deposit the mobiles with chief supervisor.
Cenre Superintendents should be held responsible and strict action be taken if any deviation is noticed, the official said.
