The order states that internet service will remain suspended from 8 am to 1:30 pm during the examination on both days.
Actually, just before the JSSC-CGL exam, the Jharkhand government has issued an order. In which it has been told that internet service will be disrupted in 24 districts of Jharkhand on 21 (today) and 22 September from 8 am to 1.30 pm.
To deal with the cases of alleged paper leak in competitive exams, this time the Jharkhand government has decided to ban internet in 24 districts of the state during the examination period. Mobile internet service will remain closed for about 5.30 hours on both days.
Let us tell you that Jharkhand General Graduate Level Combined Competitive Examination 2023 (JSSC -CGL) is being organized by Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission in 24 districts of the state today and on 22 September. For this, 823 examination centers have been set up in the state. At the same time, more than 6 lakh 40 thousand candidates are expected to appear in this examination.
In an order issued by the Home Affairs and Disaster Management Department of the Jharkhand government, it has been stated that with the objective of conducting the examination in a fair and transparent manner, the state government has decided to disrupt the internet service during the period of the JSSC CGL examination i.e. from 8:00 am to 1:30 pm. So that the right candidates can be selected and the gangs allegedly involved in cheating during the examination can be curbed.
It is also written in the order that social elements commit fraud through social media sites like Facebook, Whatsapp, X, Telegram and mobile applications like YouTube. All these things run on internet or WiFi, hence the government has issued an order to keep the internet service disrupted during the examination period.
In the letter issued by Vandana Dadel, Principal Secretary, Home Department, Jharkhand, it has also been clarified that in case of violation of the order, punitive action will be taken under various sections of the Indian Judicial Code and the Indian Telegraph Act.
Let us tell you that in January this year, the JSSC CGL exam was cancelled due to paper leak. Due to which the state government had to face a lot of embarrassment. This time, to avoid paper leak in the JSSC CGL exam, the state government has decided to shut down the internet during the examination period.
