Coaching centres, hotels, lodges, cyber cafés and other sensitive locations near examination centres will be checked. Social media platforms will also be monitored to prevent rumours, misinformation, paper leaks or fraud.
Special arrangements have also been made for traffic, parking and emergency assistance. Quick Response Teams led by Inspector-rank officers will remain ready in every district.
