The Education Department has imposed a tight regulatory framework for strong rooms stocking papers around the state in order to ensure that no question papers from the state's school examination board be leaked. According to an official, the regulatory orders range from surprise physical checks of strong rooms to limiting visitors to them and prohibiting the use of mobile phones by workers manning or visiting them. Following the recent leaks of class 12 board exam papers, which resulted in the cancellation of exams in 24 districts across the state, the additional precautions were introduced.

While the issue is being investigated and over 34 individuals have been arrested so far, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has authorised the use of the National Security Act (NSA) against those responsible for the leak. Senior officials in the Ballia district, where the question papers were leaked, are personally assessing the mechanisms put in place to prevent the leakage, including the district magistrate and superintendent of police. Concerned district authorities have been advised to keep a close eye on the strong rooms where the board test papers are kept.

Officers at exam centres have been instructed to guarantee that access to the strong rooms is rigorously controlled and that the names of all those who enter are recorded in a log book.

The state government has established 8,373 examination centres throughout the state. There are 6,398 rural centres and 1,975 urban centres among them. 861 exam centres have been designated as "sensitive," 254 as "extremely sensitive," and 7,258 as "generic" by the state administration.

An official said that all of these exam centres are being closely monitored with the help of staff and a total of 2,97,124 CCTV cameras, with the feed of these cameras being monitored at the state-level examination command centre, 75 district-level command centres, and 8,373 centre-level command centres.
