Chief Minister orders adoption of central exam security law within two weeks

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis emphasized the need for stricter security measures following recent paper‑leak protests at the Jantar‑Mantar and alleged irregularities in other states' public service exams. He instructed officials to align Maharashtra's exam regulations with the recently passed central legislation, which carries harsher penalties for misconduct.

While the state already has its own legal framework, the central law is considered more rigid. The government has been given a two‑week deadline to adopt and implement these provisions, ensuring that Maharashtra's recruitment exams meet the highest standards of integrity and fairness.
