ITANAGAR: Responding to various allegations on irregularities in the examination conducted by the Arunachal Pradesh Staff Selection Board (APSSB), Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Sunday assured a fast track probe against the alleged irregularities.

In a statement on the social media, the Chief Minister said, “I have directed Chief Secretary for fast-track probe into the alleged irregularities in exam conducted by the APSSB whose results were shortlisted for skill test.”

He further assured speedy justice while stating that those involved in the irregularities would not be spared no matter how influential they may be.

“None can play with the future of our youths. Those trying to trample the rights of our people has no other place but will be behind the bars. An impartial investigation will be carried out leaving no stone unturned,” Khandu said in the Facebook post.

He added that creation of APSSB was the biggest reform brought about by his Government for bringing transparency in the recruitment process and for the goal of a ‘Progressive Arunachal’.

The APSSB had come for public criticism after a suspicious optical mark recognition (OMR) sheet was seen doing the rounds on the social media, soon after the results of the exam for lower divisional clerk (LDC), junior secretariat assistant (JSA) and other posts were published on its website on February 14.
