Centre Orders CBI Inquiry into Alleged Irregularities in NEET-UG

The government ordered a CBI probe into allegations of irregularities and malpractice in the NEET UG examination, stressing the need for transparency and a comprehensive investigation.

The central government on Saturday ordered a CBI probe into the allegations of irregularities and paper leak in the conduct of the NEET examination for admission to undergraduate medical courses.

The Union Ministry of Education, in a statement, said that “certain cases of alleged irregularities/cheating/impersonation/malpractices have been reported” with regard to the NEET examination and that “for transparency in the conduct of the examination process, the Ministry of Education, after a review, has decided to entrust the matter to the CBI for a comprehensive investigation”.

“The government is committed to ensure the sanctity of examinations and protect the interest of students. It is reiterated that any individual/ organisation found to be involved will face strictest action,” the ministry emphasised.

The NEET-UG was held on May 5 across 4,750 centres in the country and around 24 lakh candidates took it. The results were announced on June 4, ten days ahead of the expected date.

Allegations of question paper leaks and malpractices were raised immediately after the results, as over 67 students secured the maximum marks, with some of them coming from the same examination centres. An initial probe by the police discovered irregularities and paper leaks in Bihar, and some candidates have also come forward publicly, claiming they received question papers on the eve of the examination.

The allegations have led to protests in several cities and the filing of petitions in several high courts as well as the Supreme Court.

The CBI is also probing the alleged paper leak of the UGC NET examination, which was held on June 18 this year and cancelled two days later on June 20, citing that its “integrity was compromised”. The CBI registered an FIR in the matter on June 20.

Meanwhile, the Union Health Ministry also postponed the NEET-PG entrance examination scheduled to be held on June 23, as well as CSIR-NET, as a “precautionary measure” in the wake of recent allegations regarding the integrity of certain competitive exams.

Amid the massive row, the NTA Director General Subodh Singh was shunted out on Saturday and senior bureaucrat Pradeep Singh Kharola has been appointed as the agency’s new head. Also, a seven-member high-level panel has been set up headed by former ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan to review the NTA’s functioning and recommend exam reforms.

4 DIGs Expected to Be Promoted to IGPs, 6 SSPs to Become DIGs

0

4 DIGs likely to be promoted as IGPs, 6 SSPs as DIGs

Shortage of officers in both ranks

Proposal may be cleared after MHA nod

Jammu, June 23: A proposal has been mooted for promotion of four IPS officers of 2007 batch, presently posted as DIGs, as IGPs and six IPS officers of 2011 batch from SSPs to DIGs. The proposal is under consideration of the UT Government and a decision is expected within few days in consultations with the Union Home Ministry.

Official sources told the Excelsior that there has been shortage of IPS officers in the rank of IGPs and DIGs as many officers have proceeded on the Central deputation. Some of the Additional DGPs have been holding additional charge of the IGPs.

Sources said four DIGs, who are IPS officers of 2007 batch, are tipped to be promoted as IGPs.

They include Sunil Gupta, DIG Jammu-Samba-Kathua Range, Sujit Kumar, DIG CID Kashmir, Vivek Gupta, DIG North Kashmir and M Suleman Choudhary, DIG Personnel (Police Headquarters).

The officers are eligible for promotion as IGPs on January 1, 2025.

However, as per the sources, keeping in view the urgent requirement of the officers in the rank of IGP, the Government can promote them six months in advance in relaxation of the rules, a practice which has been followed earlier also.

Similarly, six IPS officers of 2011 batch are likely to be promoted as DIGs from the rank of SSPs.

Ambarkar Shriram Dinkar, who is ranked No. 1 in 2011 batch will be accorded proforma promotion as he is on deputation with the Government of India while six officers are expected to be promoted as DIGs as they are posted in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

They include Dr Vinod Kumar, SSP Jammu, Maqsood-ul-Zaman, Staff Officer to IG Traffic Jammu and Kashmir, Mubassir Latifi, Commandant Indian Reserve Police (IRP) 10th battalion headquartered at Anantnag, Shiv Kumar Sharma, Principal PTTI Vijaypur, Rashmi Wazir, Commandant IR 12th battalion headquartered at Nud, Samba and Rajeshwar Singh, SSP CID Headquarters.

Dr Vinod Kumar is Direct Recruit while five other IPS officers of 2011 batch are from State Police Services (SPS).

All of them are eligible for promotion on January 1, 2025 and are likely to be promoted as DIGs six months in advance in relaxation of the rules.

Eight posts of DIGs are lying vacant in Jammu and Kashmir.
As per the sources, since Jammu and Kashmir is now part of AGMUT cadre, the UT Government has to take consent of the Union Home Ministry for promotions. However, since Jammu and Kashmir is facing shortage of officers in the ranks of IGPs and DIGs, the permission is expected to be granted, they said.–(Daily Excelsior)

First Train on Jammu-Srinagar Rail Line Likely to Operate Between Sangaldan & Reasi by June-End

Jmu-Sgr Rail Line: First Train likely to operate between Sangaldan & Reasi by June-end

Srinagar, June 22: The Sangaldan to Reasi railway line is nearing completion, bringing the ‘Jammu-Srinagar rail line project’ one step closer to reality.

Official sources told KNS that the first train between Sangaldan and Reasi is expected to be flagged off by the end of this month, marking a significant milestone in connecting the Reasi district in Jammu to Kashmir via railway.

Sources said that top railway officials will conduct final inspections of the Sangaldan-Reasi section, which includes the world’s highest steel arch rail bridge over the Chenab and several major tunnels, later this month.

“If all goes well, regular train services will commence by the end of this month or first week of July”, sources said.

Sources further said that the 272-kilometer rail corridor, designed to enhance connectivity and economic integration in the region, is almost complete.

“Only 17 Kilometre section between Reasi and Katra remains to be operational, with the final segment expected to be finished within the next six months,” sources said.

Once completed, the rail link will provide direct train services between Baramulla/Srinagar in Kashmir and major destinations such as Jammu, New Delhi, and Kanyakumari.

This development promises to boost tourism and trade and provide travelers with a more efficient mode of transportation across Jammu and Kashmir.

A trial run of the MEMU train (Mainline Electric Multiple Unit) was conducted recently on the newly constructed electrified line section (Reasi-Sangaldan), covering a route length of 46 kilometers on the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramula Rail Link (USBRL) project, at a speed of 40 kmph. Notably, this trial marked the first time a full train crossed over the iconic Chenab River bridge between Dugga and Bakkal stations.

This bridge is the world’s highest railway bridge, featuring a central span of 467 meters at an impressive height of 359 meters.

The USBRL project has been progressing in phases, with 209 kilometers out of the total 272 kilometers already commissioned. The phases include the 118-kilometer Qazigund-Baramulla section commissioned in October 2009, the 18-kilometer Banihal-Qazigund section in June 2013, the 25-kilometer Udhampur-Katra section in July 2014, and the 48.1-kilometer Banihal-Sangaldan stretch in February this year.

With the commissioning of the 46-kilometer Sangaldan-Reasi section, only the 17-kilometer stretch between Reasi and Katra remains to be completed. This segment is expected to be finished by the end of the year, connecting Kashmir with the rest of the country by train. Work on the project began in 1997 and has faced numerous delays due to geological, topographical, and meteorological challenges.

The 1.3-kilometer Chenab rail bridge, located 359 meters above the riverbed and 35 meters higher than the Eiffel Tower in Paris, forms a crucial link in the project. The Jammu and Kashmir Administration has already announced plans to develop the bridge as a tourist spot. The base of the steel and concrete arch bridge between Bakkal and Kauri, 42 kilometers from Reasi town, was completed in November 2017.

Construction of the main arch was finished in April 2021, and the overarch deck was completed in August 2022 with the ‘Golden Joint’, paving the way for track laying which was completed the following year.

As the project nears its final stages, the anticipation and optimism surrounding the USBRL project are palpable, with expectations that it will significantly transform the Jammu and Kashmir’s transportation landscape.–(KNS)
