Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the central government has drafted a comprehensive bill aimed at curbing paper‑leak incidents. The draft proposes stringent penalties and a fast‑track legal process to ensure rapid resolution of such cases.
The proposal is slated for discussion in the upcoming cabinet meeting, with expectations that it will be presented in Parliament during the next session. If passed, the legislation would introduce tougher punishments for those involved in leaking examination papers.
Modi stressed that protecting the interests of students remains a top priority and that any individual who manipulates the future of the nation’s youth will face uncompromising action.
