Kerala PSC Exam Irregularities Investigated Amid Youth Congress Protests
An ongoing investigation by a special team appointed by Kerala's Congress-led government has uncovered alleged malpractices in Public Service Commission exams conducted during the previous Left Front regime. The governor is considering legal action amid complaints about exam irregularities. Separately, Youth Congress protesters opposed exams and interviews for temporary posts, claiming these violate norms. Police detained some protesters after tensions escalated at the PSC headquarters. Both developments highlight concerns over recruitment processes in Kerala's PSC.
