Imphal, March 01 2015:
With the CBSE Class X and XII examinations all set to begin from Monday, the Manipur Police chief has asked all district Superintendants of Police to take up necessary security measures at all examination centres within their respective jurisdiction.
The examinations will be conducted at 25 centres across the State amidst the controversy that surfaced after the authorities of some schools failed to issue admit cards to their students preparing for the board examinations.
Acting on a letter from the State Joint Secretary (School Education), the DGP of Manipur Police, Shahid Ahmed has instructed SPs of all districts of the State to provide necessary assistance to ensure smooth conduct of the examinations at the 25 centres right from the commencement of the examinations till the end.
Maintaining that copies of the Joint Secretary's letter were also forwarded to the SPs, the DGP on Saturday also reminded the SPs to do the needful within their respective jurisdiction, an official source said Sunday.
The CBSE examinations are to be conducted amidst the controversy involving at least six schools which are not recognized by the board.
Around 2000 students preparing to sit in the examinations are likely to miss them as they will not be allowed to appear the examinations without the admit cards issued by the CBSE authority.
Police have already taken up an FIR case regarding the controversy over the status of the schools which are not recognised by the CBSE.
The police case registered at Lamphel Police Station of Imphal West district was based on a complaint lodged by a student on February 24 last.
The complainant alleged that the authority of his school has failed to distribute admit card to him even though students of other CBSE-affiliated schools have already received the same.
He further claimed that the registration numbers provided by CBSE to him and his colleagues turned out to be fake ones.
