AGARTALA, Nov 4 (TIWN): Demanding the withdrawal of the termination of 156 laboratory assistants and computer operators by the state government recruited under Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyaan RMSA the Tripura Contract teachers and employees association (TCTE) workers on Wednesday hold protest rally and mass demonstration at office lane demanding justice to the RMSA workers.Demanding the withdrawal of the termination of the RMSA workers staged protest and demonstration at office lane to press for their demand. Raising slogans against the decision of the state government regarding the termination of the 156 RMSA workers the workers are scheduled to hold protest till evening 4pm since morning. It is to be mentioned here that the central government asked the state government to issue a notification furnishing details of salaries of the employees. But, state government had failed to issue a notification. However, the contract period of the employees was scheduled to be ended in February next year but the decision of the state government has raised issue in the state.However, the RMSA workers along with the SSA employees association has intensified their protest and staged a mass demonstration at Office lane.

The protestors alleged that the state government is solely responsible for the termination of non – teaching RMSA staffs.  Question rose that No staffs are terminated anywhere in the country, then why will the centre terminate only those 156 workers in the state. the central government is sponsoring other states and are giving them regular pay structure by inducting them in education department, why such unfair treatment to the RMSA workers of Tripura. In neighbouring state Assam all temporary RMSA staff is regularized, whereas, state left government going against the tide have got them terminated.

Instead of giving proper justification for their termination state government is busy in accusing the central government for this termination of 156 RMSA workers for fund paucity, alleged protestors.

Reportedly, the ruling Left Front government have terminated 156 non – teaching staff of Rashtirya Madhyamik Shiskha Abhyjaan (RMSA). A notice of their termination was issued to them by RMSA Mission Director P. Goyal. The notification stated that the centre have stopped funds for all the terminated non – teaching staffs. The left front government always claims that they will stand by them in future on time of crisis, but the termination of 156 lab assistant and LDC of RMSA sent a message to other centrally sponsored project that the left front government will not take any responsibility in case stopping of funds from the central.
