AGARTALA, Sep 16 (TIWN): Terminated 10323 teachers on Friday alleged that many media houses have broadcasted fake news and circulated defamatory news against 10323 teachers which have no connection with reality. Few newspapers published news that due to 10323 teachers, the Education Director was harassed and fell sick. It was also alleged that 10323 teachers had treated the Director brutally and did not allow her to drink water. Refusing the claim of the newspapers, 10323 teachers said that water bottles were provided in front of all teachers and the Director which were not brought by the teachers but had provided by the department itself. The 10323 teachers also had shown evidence of it in their mobile phones recording. The 10323 teachers did not get any individual termination letter and also they are not allowed to know which is the exact reason for 10323 teachers’ termination.

Amid 3 days-long ongoing protest, administration imposed Section 144 at the area.

10323 teachers said that they are law abiding citizens and will not visit Education Dept till the restriction continues.

10323 teachers came to know from Supreme Court’s RTI reply that the teachers were not part of the case. Since then, 10323 teachers are demanding termination letters.
