UP govt cancels entrance examination for basic health workers

Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government has
cancelled the basic health worker entrance examination due to
alleged irregularities.

"The decision to cancel the examination held in June
last year was taken on the basis of a report submitted by a
committee probing the charges of irregularity," officials said
here.

More than 12 lakh aspirants appeared in the
examination for recruitment of 6,971 posts of basic health
workers in May and June last year, they said.

However, immediately after the examination,
allegations of irregularities started surfacing after which a
four-member committee was constituted to probe the matter.
