Agra Rail Division Halts Exam Amid Paper Leak Allegations

The Agra Rail Division has nullified a promotion exam following claims of a paper leak. The decision was prompted by complaints from candidates, leading to an internal inquiry and a referral to the vigilance department for investigation, underscoring a zero-tolerance policy towards exam irregularities.

The Agra Rail Division has annulled an examination, conducted last October, meant to fill a promotional quota for goods train guards after candidates alleged a paper leak.

Prompted by these serious allegations, the division initiated an internal inquiry indicating potential misconduct by officials, which led them to seek a detailed vigilance probe.

A senior division official emphasized adherence to the Railway Board's zero-tolerance stance on examination irregularities, which propelled the decision to cancel the examination.
