KARACHI: The Sindh government on Tuesday decided to bar examination staff and students from using mobile phones and internet devices after a paper of the matriculation exam was leaked a day ago.
Advisor to the Chief Minister of Sindh on Universities and Boards Nisar Ahmad Khuhro, in a statement, said the students have also been prohibited from bringing cellphones to examination centres, Geo News reported. “Students and invigilation staff will be checked before entering the examination centres,” he said, adding that if a person is found having a cellphone inside the centre, it will be confiscated. The advisor said a probe into the paper leak issue was underway, while the local administration has imposed Section 144 in the areas nearby the examination centres. A day earlier, the chairperson of the matric board suspected that the central control officers (CCOs) had a hand in the controversy surrounding the paper leak and delay in the delivery of the questionnaire.
