The Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission has appointed zonal observers for three zones prescribed for State Service Prelims-2013.
The observers will ensure impartiality and credibility of the system. The observers are retired officers of the Higher Judicial Service and Indian Administrative Service. Mobile numbers and e-mail addresses of the officers will be made available to the candidates so that they can directly complain to them about any irregularity.
Prelims of the State Pubic Service Commission Exam-2013 will be held in two sessions on July 27, 2014. Apart from existing arrangements, the commission has appointed three additional zonal observers to ensure impartiality and credibility of the exam to be held at 1,108 centres in all 51 districts of the state.
Retired Higher Judicial Service officer Ashok Kumar Singh (mobile number 9425809244) has been appointed as zonal central observer for Jabalpur region comprising Jabalpur, Rewa and Shahdol divisions, retired officer of Higher Judicial Service Raghuveer Singh Choodawat (mobile number 9425364946) for Gwalior region comprising Sagar, Gwalior and Chambal divisions and retired IAS officer Rakesh Bansal (9893097235) for Bhopal region comprising Bhopal, Indore, Ujjain and Narmadapuram divisions.
The zonal observers may visit any district under their charge as per requirement. Complaints received at the Chief Minister's call centre, commission and e-mail will be forwarded region-wise to these observers. They will either themselves enquire into the complaints or get enquiry reports from concerned commissioners, IGs, Collectors, SPs and Additional Director of Higher Education and submit the same to the commission.
All divisional higher education officers have been directed to enquire into complaints sent by the observers on priority and send reports to observers on time. The District Collectors will make available lists of exam centres and executive magistrates deployed there to observers. Divisional Deputy Commissioners have been made in-charges for coordinating all arrangements.
