Gurgaon District Administration Implements Enhanced Security for HBSE Board Exams
The district administration in Gurgaon has enforced significantly heightened security measures for the upcoming Haryana Board of School Education (HBSE) annual examinations for classes 10 and 12. These critical examinations are scheduled to commence on Wednesday and will be conducted across a total of 65 examination centers established at 55 distinct locations throughout the Nuh region.
Categorization of Examination Centers Based on Sensitivity
Out of the 65 centers, authorities have meticulously categorized eight centers as highly sensitive and an additional seven centers as sensitive. Special monitoring arrangements and enhanced protocols have been put in place at these locations to ensure the free, fair, and transparent conduct of the examinations. Notably, the city of Gurgaon itself has only one school center listed under the sensitive category, highlighting the focused security efforts in the Nuh area.
Detailed Breakdown of Sensitive and Highly Sensitive Centers
Deputy Commissioner Akhil Pilani provided a comprehensive breakdown of the categorized centers. In the Nuh sub-division, the government senior secondary school in Firozpur Namak, along with two centers (B-1 and B-2) at the government senior secondary school in Tapkan, have been placed in the highly sensitive category. Centers marked as sensitive in this sub-division include Chaudhary Mohammad Yasin Khan Mev senior secondary school in Nuh and the government girls senior secondary school in Nuh.
In the Tauru sub-division, several institutions were declared highly sensitive: government senior secondary school Bissar Akbarpur, government senior secondary school Hasanpur Tauru-1, government girls high school Hasanpur Tauru-3, and government senior secondary school Rathiwas. Moving to the Punhana area, the government senior secondary school (B-1) in Punhana was kept on the highly sensitive list, while two other centers in this region were classified under the sensitive category. Additionally, one center in Firozpur Jhirka was also marked as sensitive.
Historical Incidents and Structural Vulnerabilities Addressed
The government girls senior secondary school in Punhana has been cited as a very sensitive center following a paper leak incident that occurred last year, prompting extra vigilance. Furthermore, at the Firozpur Namak center, authorities identified broken boundary walls as significant structural vulnerabilities. These breaches create potential unauthorised access points that could compromise exam integrity, and measures are being taken to address these security gaps.
The administration's proactive approach aims to prevent malpractice and uphold the credibility of the board examinations. These stringent measures reflect a commitment to maintaining academic standards and ensuring a level playing field for all students appearing for their crucial Class 10 and Class 12 board exams under the HBSE.
