However, when the Chief Minister mentioned about the recruitment, it was not made clear that whether the two years of pending recruitment under TSR will be cleared or not.  Police, TSR and few other Depts  job aspirants, who were selected after interviews long back in 2016 but they never got appointment letters. Recently few gathered at Astabol stadium and few more at Circuit house in demand of their faster recruitment. 

There are many job aspirants of TSR and Police who were selected in 2016 and also the verification procedure was also done. 

The TSR and Police job aspirants met the former CPI-M Chief Minister Manik Sarkar many times but their recruitment remained pending for 6 months, then 7 months and then it was halted again due to the election. On March 24 all unemployed youths had gathered at Astabol Stadium and Circuit house aimed to meet the new Chief Minister with their demands of faster appointments. The youths told media that with the 2 years like pending. Whether many of them are  becoming overage, but no proper solution to the issue came.

However, CM today has not made the issue clear whether the 2 years of pending recruitment will be cleared or not.
