Uttarakhand CM Dhami welcomes PM Modi's decision to set up fast-track courts for paper leak cases
New Delhi, July 23
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to establish fast-track courts for the swift resolution of paper leak cases, calling it a historic and visionary step towards safeguarding the future of millions of students.
He said the decision would effectively curb organised crimes such as paper leaks, ensure strict punishment for those responsible, enhance the transparency and credibility of examinations and assure students that no injustice would be tolerated with their hard work.
Dhami also welcomed the Prime Minister's message that "those who tamper with the future of the youth will not be spared" and expressed gratitude on behalf of the people of Uttarakhand.
Earlier, Prime Minister Modi, in a post on X, said that nothing was more important than the welfare and future of the country's youth and announced the setting up of fast-track courts to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved in paper leaks.
"We have decided to set up fast-track courts to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved in paper leaks. Have directed the concerned authorities and officials to take all necessary steps in this regard. This continues our series of steps for safeguarding the interests of students," the Prime Minister said.
"Those who try to harm the future of our youth will not be spared," he added.
Meanwhile, speaking in Vijayawada, CPI(M) leader Chigurupati Babu Rao alleged that the Centre had failed to address students' concerns over the NEET issue and questioned why Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had not resigned.
"They are not willing to see the student unrest. They are closing their eyes. Their attitude is adamant... They are not discussing with the agitators... The government is responsible for this repression itself... Why is Dharmendra Pradhan not resigning?" Rao said.
The CPI(M) leader further alleged that the government had made no sincere effort to resolve the issue and claimed it was more interested in retaining power than addressing students' concerns. He also alleged that the Education Minister had failed to ensure the proper conduct of the examinations.

As a student who gave NEET last year, I know how stressful these exam seasons are. The PM's words are reassuring, but I wish they had done this earlier. At least now there's hope that the next generation won't have to worry about such corruption. 🙏
Good move by Modi ji indeed. But I'm a bit skeptical—will these fast-track courts be set up in every state or just in Uttarakhand? Paper leaks happen across the country, not just in one state. Let's hope this is a nationwide initiative. Also, what about the existing cases? They need quick resolution too.
This is exactly what we needed! Paper leaks have been a menace for too long. I'm glad the government is finally taking this seriously. But I also agree with the CPI(M) leader to some extent—why hasn't the Education Minister taken responsibility yet? Accountability should start from the top. 🤔
A historic decision indeed! CM Dhami is right—this will safeguard the future of millions. I just hope these courts are given enough resources and judges to actually function fast. Otherwise, it'll just be another good idea on paper. Let's see how it's implemented. 🇮🇳
I'm an expat living in India, and I've seen how exam leaks affect students here. It's heartbreaking. Fast-track courts are a great idea, but they need to be combined with better cybersecurity and exam monitoring. Technology can help prevent leaks in the first place. Hope the government looks at the root cause too.
