She also cautioned students and parents against falling for fake messages, forged letters, or rumours circulating on social media. “Follow only the official instructions issued by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission, the police, or the district administration,” she said. Any attempt to spread misinformation or circulate fake documents will invite immediate legal action.
Deputy Commissioner of Panchkula, Monika Gupta, who participated in the meeting, informed that the district is fully prepared to host CET 2025. A dedicated bus service has been arranged from the Sector-5 Bus Stand, with over 108 buses deployed to transport candidates to their examination centres. Special buses will also operate in two shifts from Kalka, Morni, Barwala, and Raipur Rani to accommodate the examination schedule.
She further informed that mobile phones are strictly prohibited inside examination centres, not only for candidates but also for the staff on duty. Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita will remain enforced around all exam venues. Coaching centres and photocopy shops will remain closed on both days to eliminate any possibility of malpractice.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Srishti Gupta reported that 550 police personnel will be deployed across 44 examination centres in Panchkula. Surveillance will be enhanced with the use of binoculars from rooftops to monitor any suspicious activity. A special traffic management plan has been implemented to prevent congestion. “No private vehicles will be allowed within a 500-metre radius of exam centres. Strict action will be taken against wrong parking, and violators will face legal consequences,” she added.
She also mentioned that loudspeaker announcements will be made via ERV (Emergency Response Vehicle) and PCR (Police Control Room) vans to assist students and the general public. All police units have been instructed to remain on high alert and to take immediate action against anyone attempting to commit malpractice or disrupt public order.
