The meeting saw a detailed review of the entire security apparatus related to the exam, inter-departmental coordination, cyber surveillance, the security of question papers, and arrangements at the examination centres.
He directed all Superintendents of Police to personally inspect the examination centres, question paper storage sites, and concerned banks by June 20 to verify security arrangements.
Special attention must be paid to inspecting CCTV cameras, Door Frame Metal Detectors (DFMD), the deployment of security forces, and the arrangements for the entry of candidates at the examination centres.
