Internet Suspended Across Assam for 3 Hours During Recruitment Exam

Guwahati: Internet was suspended all over Assam on Sunday for three hours while the Assam Direct Recruitment Examination to fill posts of Group III employees was held amid tight security.

The internet was suspended for three and a half hours across the state to avoid malpractice during the recruitment exam. Internet services were suspended from 10 am to 1.30 pm. Heavy deployment of security forces was also seen outside exam centres.

Assam has been rocked by several recruitment scams over the past several years.

There was no report of any untoward incident from any of the 2,305 centres in the state. After the exams ended, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the first ADRE exam had concluded peacefully.

“My deepest gratitude to all the officers and staff who have successfully completed this monumental task without any issue,” Sarma posted on X.
