Enlisting the SG’s assistance in the PIL raising a host of issues relating to OSM, the CJI said, “Look at the frustration caused to young children.”Supreme Court: CBSE system issue needs to be addressedJustice Joymalya Bagchi said, “CBSE has a right to formulate a scheme for evaluation. But it appears to be facing teething problems for seamless implemen-tation. These need to be addressed.”The SG informed the court about the appointment of a one-member commission of S Radha Chauhan to inquire into the issues and suggest comprehensive remedial measures. On June 2, the Centre had removed CBSE chairperson Rahul Singh and secretary Himanshu Gupta from their posts with immediate effect and ordered an inquiry into the procurement of the OSM system.The PIL filed by a parent alleged that “answersheets scanned for the first time as part of OSM system by Class X students saw many irregularities — non-scanning of certain pages, illegible scanning, non-checking of certain answers/pages etc — creating uncertainties among students and parents”. “Due to scanning error and portal glitches, process of OSM evaluation has led to arbitrary evaluation or non-evaluation of answer sheets,” it alleged.Get the latest India news and live updates.

While units 1 and 2 are operational, units 3, 4, 5, and 6 are under various stages of construction and commissioning. Reliance Infra was involved in designing and building infrastructure for the plant’s unit 3 and unit 4 in 2018.The nuclear plant, located in Tamil Nadu, is the largest of India’s nuclear plants.Files are not related to nuclear safety, security: NPCILIn response to a TOI query, a Reliance Group spokesperson said, “The company was informed by Yotta Data Services Private Limited (Yotta), its third-party data centre service provider, of a cybersecurity incident involving an attempted ransomware attack that resulted in partial breach of data hosted on one of Yotta’s servers. Yotta has informed the company that the suspicious process was identified and terminated immediately, and the incident was contained and also that no ransomware execution, data loss, or lateral movement occurred, and services were restored.”The spokesperson further said, “Yotta has confirmed that enhanced security monitoring and preventive controls are now in place. The company has directed Yotta to conduct a detailed investigation and submit a report. The incident has been reported to CERT-In, and disclosure has been made to the Stock Exchanges under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. The company will take further steps as legally advised..”When asked about alleged claims that 19,000 of the 8.6 lakh Reliance files put on the World Leaks website appeared to be most sensitive, NPCIL executive director (CP&CC) Prateek Agrawal told TOI, “They (files) are not related to nuclear safety or nuclear security systems. Like thermal power plants, tenders are issued for common services. Such common services are not associated with the core systems of the nuclear plant.”Later, in a statement, NPCIL said the engineering, procurement and construction contract for the common services awarded to R-Infra are of conventional nature and are typically found in thermal power plants as well as other process industries.The release further said, “As part of the public tendering process, NPCIL provided indicative drawings and technical specifications to the bidders. Based on these inputs and the requirements of the project, EPC contractor, Reliance Infrastructure Ltd, prepared detailed engineering drawings in consultation with the respective original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The designs proposed by Reliance Infra, meeting technical specifications, are accepted by NPCIL after review.”NPCIL reiterated that “the information claimed to be available in the public domain pertains only to conventional balance of plant common service facilities and does not relate to any nuclear safety or nuclear security-related systems or information”.Get the latest India news and live updates.
