Last week, the Chemistry exam was postponed as the papers were leaked and the Board found out about it only after the exams were conducted on March 21. Later the re-examination was scheduled for March 29. Then again it was postponed to March 31. Today the examination was postponed again.

Over 1.4 lakh students have been affected with the development. The students appearing for the common entrance test have been especially affected as their regular examinations are still incomplete.

Angry students and parents are protesting against the board and demanding dismissal of Education Minister K Ratnakar. Some MLAs from the ruling Congress party have also joined the protests.

The protesting students have said that they will not appear for a re-examination.

Hitting out at the government for its failure to conduct a foolproof examination, Karnataka BJP leader and Union Minister Ananthkumar said that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah must take the blame and take the strictest action against the culprits.

State BJP president and MP Prahlad Joshi demanded the dismissal of Primary and Secondary education minister Kimmane Ratnakar immediately. He said that Siddaramaiah must make a statement.

Reacting to the comments Siddaramaiah said, "I came to know that the Chemistry question paper has been leaked. It has happened for the second time. We will take necessary action. The BJP is politicising it."

The last day of the Budget session of the state Assembly was disrupted by the angry MLAs of the opposition who demanded the strictest possible action against those responsible for the paper leak.

The preliminary inquiry into the first case of paper leak had revealed that it was leaked near an examination centre in a women's college at Ballari, about 330 km from Bengaluru, and at a state-run college at Malur in Kolar district, 50 km.

The PUC exams in the state, equivalent to second year intermediate course or 12th class in central schools began on March 11 across the state, with 6.5 lakh students appearing in this academic year.

Dubai, Mar 3: Abu Dhabi-based Indian retail tycoon MA Yusuff Ali has become the first Indian to receive Saudi Arabia's premium residency, his office said in a statement on Monday.

Yusuff Ali, 64, is the chairman of the LuLu Group, who was ranked the richest expat in the UAE by the Forbes magazine last year.

The permit, informally known as Saudi Green Card, grants expatriates the right to live, work and own business and property in the Kingdom without need for a sponsor, the LULU group said in a statement.

The introduction of the Premium Residency comes as a part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 reform plan, which was announced by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to boost the Saudi economy, the statement said.

Yusuff Ali said "obviously a very proud and humbling moment in my life. This is a great honour not only for me but for the entire Indian expat community and I sincerely thank the HM the King Salman, HRH Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman and the government of Saudi Arabia."

"@Yusuffali_MA , an investor from India, after obtaining Premium Residency in Saudi Arabia: ''The Kingdom became an attractive investment destination due to the remarkable growth in economy," Premium Residency tweeted on Monday.

Yusuff Ali said he was sure that this new permanent residency initiative will further boost Saudi Arabia's image as one of the key investments and business hubs of the region as well as attract and retain new investors.

This initiative is targeting key investors and prominent personalities from various fields, including sports, arts & culture, who have played a defining role in the nation building process.

The Lulu Group owns and operates more than 35 hypermarkets and supermarkets in Saudi Arabia, which includes ARAMCO Commissaries and National Guards super stores.
