3. The Arunachal government wants the CBI to investigate all public service exams since 2014.
The leak of the assistant engineer (civil) exam question paper has shook Arunachal Pradesh.
The Arunachal Pradesh government has decided to request that the Central Bureau of Investigation investigate all Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) examinations conducted since 2014 for possible irregularities.
On October 31, a high-level team led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu met with representatives of two influential student organisations, the All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union and the All Nyishi Students' Union.
Since August 28, when a candidate for the post of assistant engineer (civil) lodged a complaint at the Itanagar police station, claiming that the question paper for the APPSC examination held on August 26 and 27 had been leaked, the State government has been under pressure.
The two student organisations had demanded that the APPSC be overhauled and that the officials involved in the'scam' of question paper leaks be fired immediately. They had also demanded an investigation into all of the exams.
"Our government is seriously moving forward in cleansing the system to ensure fool-proof exams for government job recruitment," Mr. Khandu said, adding that the CBI would be asked to investigate all APPSC-conducted exams since 2014. The meeting between the Chief Minister's team and the leaders of the two student unions coincided with the request of candidates who took the APPSC exams in 2017 to reopen their cases.
Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Combined Competitive Examination-2017 candidates filed a lawsuit alleging irregularities in the selection process. "That year's investigation into the case was one-sided," they claimed. Many heads have been rolling since the question paper leak became public. Nipo Nabam, the chairperson of the APPSC, resigned from moral responsibility, as did two of the four members, both retired Army officers. In connection with the case, police arrested more than ten people, including government officials.

For the first time, the festival was entirely online in 2020. And it was partly online and partly physical last year, with social distancing measures in place. It is back in full swing this year. When asked if normalcy has returned following the pandemic's waves, Arundhati Nag, Ranga Shankara's artistic advisor, says, "Everyone is pretending everything is fine." People were setting off firecrackers for Diwali as if it were good for their health."

She believes there is a shift in the arts and entertainment, particularly theatre. "It's all about the big shows, who makes the most noise..... "That's what the sponsors want, too," she says, adding, "thought-provoking shows have become scarce." So we decided to call our festival "just theatre." We wanted to investigate the various meanings of the word "just." People began to perform plays that were within their comfort zone. We wanted to do more instigating things."
The festival kicks off on Karnataka Rajyotsava with a Kannada poetry session curated by poets Mamta Sagar and Prathibha Nandakumar called Idhu Keluva Samaya (It's Time to Listen). The festival begins with Jangama Collective's Kannada play Dakla Katha Devi Kavya. Five other plays will be performed until Friday, two in Hindi, two in English, and one in Tamil.
