Centre Approves Changes To Strengthen Anti-Paper Leak Law

Meanwhile, the Union Cabinet on Friday approved amendments to the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, as part of efforts to reinforce the legal framework against paper leaks amid continuing nationwide protests.

According to sources, the amendment Bill is expected to be introduced in Parliament on Monday, July 27.

NTA Removes 47 Officials In Major Action

In a separate development, sources said the National Testing Agency (NTA) has terminated the services of 47 officials in a major internal crackdown. They added that legal and criminal proceedings will also be initiated against some of those officials.

The action is part of a broader restructuring of the NTA, which has remained under scrutiny following the controversy surrounding examination paper leaks.

Government Intensifies Response To Paper Leak Controversy

Sources described the move as the sixth major decision taken within 24 hours by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has maintained that those attempting to jeopardise the future of young people will face strict consequences.

The NTA conducts the NEET-UG examination. A retest was held in June after the examination conducted in May was cancelled following the paper leak controversy.

Protests Continue Across The Country

The issue has triggered prolonged protests in the national capital. Activist Sonam Wangchuk, who had joined the demonstrations, ended his hunger strike after 26 days on Thursday night.

Opposition parties have also extended support to the protesters and their demands.
