As Jharkhand gears up for the crucial Joint Civil Services preliminary exam on Sunday, the administration has activated full-scale vigilance. Haunted by previous paper leak incidents, officials in Dumka conducted intensive hotel inspections on Saturday to preempt any foul play.
Special squads, under magistrate supervision and with police support, targeted upscale hotels in the city. Guests’ IDs were verified against registration logs, rooms were combed for suspicious items, and outsiders were interrogated. The goal was clear: dismantle any networks aiming to compromise the high-stakes test. The raids yielded no evidence of wrongdoing, a relief for all involved.
Nineteen exam venues in Dumka will host the event in dual shifts—morning from 10 to 12, and afternoon from 3 to 5. A 100-meter perimeter around centers will be off-limits during test times, ensuring zero disruptions.
These preemptive actions underscore the state’s commitment to merit-based selection. Frequent leak rumors have eroded trust among genuine contenders, but today’s operations signal zero tolerance. Jharkhand’s resolve could set a precedent for secure exams nationwide, protecting aspirants’ futures.
