Dehradun: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, in the wake of the alleged recruitment scams and paper leak cases, said on Sunday that those who will cheat in examinations will be given life imprisonment or undergo a sentence of 10-years.
"Our government will not compromise with the dreams and aspirations of the youth. Now anyone who will be found cheating in the recruitment exam will be given life imprisonment and 10 years of imprisonment. Along with this, their property will also be confiscated," he said while addressing a sports and cultural festival in Kalsi.
Uttarakhand Governor Lt Gen (Retd) Gurmit Singh on Friday signed the Uttarakhand Competitive Examination (Measures for Prevention and Redressal of Unfair Means in Recruitment) Ordinance, popularly known as an anti-copying Ordinance.
Earlier Dhami himself announced that he had approved the Ordinance following students' protest against the paper leak cases in the State. Following the Governor's assent, the Ordinance has now become a law.
Last week, youth from the Berozgar Sangh, an outfit of jobless persons in the state, staged a protest at the main Rajpur Road of Dehradun, demanding a CBI inquiry into irregularities in recruitment.The protests took a violent turn after the agitators came to blows with police personnel who had arrived at the scene to enforce order.
