Several reports say the government is considering using Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft to transport question papers for the NEET-UG re-test. The proposal comes after the original NEET-UG examination is cancelled following allegations of a question paper leak. According to the outlets, the move is part of enhanced security arrangements for the re-test, with the IAF potentially tasked with logistics related to moving exam materials to test centres. Business Standard reports that authorities are considering deploying IAF aircraft to ferry question papers on June 21. Other reports similarly describe the IAF as a likely option for transport, while one source notes that a final decision is still pending. Across the coverage, the core details are that the re-test is being conducted due to the leak controversy, and the government is exploring additional measures to secure the re-test question papers and ensure their timely delivery to examination sites. No source provides further specifics on the operational plan beyond the possibility and timing of IAF involvement.
