In MehrabPur, despite authorities imposing Section 144 the cheating mafia did not pay heed to any such restriction and continued their ill-doing challenging the writ of the education authorities.
The Matriculation examination has become a farce in Sindh as the board annual papers keep leaking despite tall claims of the authorities of Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Sindh regarding their efforts to rein in the cheating mafia.
The rampant cheating in exams in different areas of Sindh including Karachi, Larkana, Sukkur, Ghotki, Nawabshah, Hyderabad, Sanghar and Kambar was putting a big question mark on the efficiency of the boards’ examination staff. The observers and parents of the students also slammed the apathy shown by the provincial government towards this whole cheating episode.
