Haryana Police has decided to provide three-tier elaborate security arrangements for smooth and fair conduct of Haryana State Teachers Eligibility Test scheduled to be held on November 5 and 6.

Mr. Dalal directed them to ensure proper security measures in and around the examination centres. Proper screening of unauthorized articles like mobile phones, pagers and any other which were of prohibited nature in the examinations would be carried out. Strict vigilance would be carried out for malpractices like impersonation.  He said that the test would be held under the strict security measures. The responsibility of implementing security measures in all concerned districts had been given to concerned officers. Adequate force would also be mobilized from police training centres for this purpose, he added.

Eligible candidates would only be allowed to enter in examination centres. He informed that concerned district police chiefs would visit all the centres to ensure proper arrangements. Along with upgrading and preparing for strong measures, district police chiefs would also ensure that all Photostat shops adjacent examination centres should be closed on November 5 and 6, 2011 so as to avoid Xerox of paper outside the centre.

          Mr. Dalal said that all district police chiefs have been asked to ensure traffic management outside examination centres. As the vehicles of candidates would be parked away from examination centres, he appealed them to reach two hours before the start of exam so as to avoid any traffic congestion. The DGP said that about 4.6 lakh candidates would appear for this test. Police team would be very vigilant for conduct of fair test, he added.

          In view of ensuring two bye elections going to be held on November 30, he directed district police chiefs to start special drives, check every suspect person and work hard for the smooth conduct of elections.
