AGARTALA, Jan 27 (TIWN): Tension has gripped the SSA teachers as even after setting the deadline of regularization within 31st March, Tripura Govt has been silent on the issue. After 31stmuch funding under SSA will be stopped, but akthough Cnetral Govt asked the state govt to regularize the SSAs , Tripura Govt has no concern at all.

Tripura Education Minister Tapan Chakrbaorty had written a letter to MHRD Minister Prakash Yavedkar and based on his letter, the notification on Nov 15 came.  It was only Tripura Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty who wrote a letter to Prakash Yavedkar on 7th August, 2017 for a common regularization rules for SSA teachers. Following Tapan Chakraborty’s letter, it was asked to all states on 15th November to bring the SSA teachers under the state govt employees. But when the letter came, the Tripura govt moved 180 degree saying that they left with ‘No option’ and thus the SSAs will be terminated on 31st March, 2018.

Recently a letter was written to MHRD by the SSA and right now the teachers are waiting for the replies from MHRD. But when Chief Minister Manik Sarkar is holding the chairmanship of SSA's Governing Counseling,  he himself has four times rejected to meet the SSA teachers. On the other side, Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty said that they are having a funding issue from the centre.  Not only this, Chakraborty also said there are some legal issues while appointing them, but SSA teachers told Tapan Chakraborty that when state govt had appointed the SSA Teachers, then the regularizing duty also goes to the state govt. Bastab Debbarma also criticizing the SSAs who are calling for 8th Left Front Govt and not joining SSAs movement said, "If job would not stay, what will they do with 8th Govt of their party". With these, SSA teachers  will go with more supports this time and hold a massive protest within next 8 days.
