The Arunachal Pradesh cabinet on Monday approved the enactment of 'The Arunachal Pradesh Examination (Measures for Prevention of Unfair Means in Recruitment) Act 2024' to prevent and curb the offences related to leakage of question papers and other malpractices during the recruitment examinations conducted by various recruitment agencies.

The decision was taken during the cabinet meeting held in Itanagar on Monday under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Pema Khandu.

The draft bill, which incorporates stringent penalties and imprisonment with imposition of fine up to one crore shall be tabled in the ensuing second session of the 8th Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly commencing from July 19 for discussion and passage of the same.

The bill after becoming an Act will ensure a free and fair selection process of all posts under the Government of Arunachal Pradesh and detect malpractices.

The state cabinet further approved the proposal for the encadrement of 13 various categories of posts of Arunachal Pradesh Staff Selection Board (APSSB) into a common cadre of Arunachal Pradesh Civil Service and Arunachal Pradesh Secretariat Service Common Cadre.

This move was necessitated to bring proper and systematic human resource management in the APSSB for a free and fair recruitment process. It is noteworthy that the State Government had already encadred and merged all categories of posts of Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission into a common cadre of Arunachal Pradesh Civil Secretariat Service and postings were done accordingly.

In a press release, the Chief Minister Office of Arunachal Pradesh said that, this decision will enable officers from APCS and APSS to be transferred in APSSB on tenure basis for a period of 3 years.

The Chief Minister and Cabinet Ministers were briefed by the Director General of Police (DGP), IG L&O, Secretary Home and the Superintendent of Police (SP) Capital on the salient features and implementation strategy of the 3 new criminal laws.

The officers highlighted key reforms aimed at enhancing public safety and streamlining legal procedures. They discussed the phased implementation plan, training programs for law enforcement, public awareness campaigns, and monitoring mechanisms.

The Chief Minister and Cabinet Ministers provided valuable inputs, underscoring the importance of a coordinated approach for the successful adoption of these reforms. (ANI)
