Besides, measures have been taken to prevent rumors. ‘Action is being taken against those who are trying to spread rumors”, said the Education Minister Dr. Dipu Moni.

After the commencement of the examination, the Education Minister visited the Badda High School center at the capital and in response to a question from the journalists, she said that ‘We have taken all measures to prevent the SSC examination question papers from being leaked. Law and order forces will monitor this all the time. So there is no chance of question leaking in any way’.

The Deputy Education Minister Mahibul Hasan Chowdhury accompanied the minister at that time.

Dhaka Inter Education Board Coordinator and Dhaka Education Board Chairman Professor Tapan Kumar Sarkar said, 'BTRC has already started monitoring Facebook and mobile transactions. In addition, the relevant organizations are also aware of those who create rumors of question leaks through other social media.

Chairman of Dhaka Education Board said, 'It has been decided to quickly close the pages of those creating rumors of question leaks on all social media. For this, BTRC will maintain constant communication with Facebook and other authorities. If the same amount of money is transacted multiple times on a mobile number, then the concerned agent should inform the officer-in-charge of the nearest police station.'
