Hectic effort that went into smooth conduct of lekhpal exam
To hold an exam in which 26 lakh candidates appeared for 13,316 posts of lekhpal (revenue inspector) here on Sunday, the organisers actually burned the midnight oil. Revenue minister Shivpal Yadav at his Kalidas Marg residence kept issuing instructions till late night to board officials down to the district level, while board chairman Anil Kumar Gupta and commissioner Dheeraj Sahu remained busy at the Kaiserbagh office all night to ensure the question papers reached the exam centres timely and without falling into wrong hands.
