Uttarakhand gets Deepam Seth as regular DGP after a year
Uttarakhand finally got its regular Director General of Police (DGP) after a gap of almost a year.
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) on Sunday conducted the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination 2024 amid tight security arrangements at various exam centres across India including Delhi.
The exam, which was earlier scheduled for May 26, was postponed to June 16 due to the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections.
The Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination 2024 was conducted in two shifts – the first shift was held from 9.30 am to 11:30 am and the second shift was conducted from 2.30 pm to 4:30 pm.
