AGARTALA, Nov 29 (TIWN): Tensions are increasing among 10323 teachers, who are productions of CPI-M’s decade-long corruption in teacher-recruitment. The teachers on Wednesday held a meeting in town hall and discussed about the crisis situations, they are undergoing. The recruitment corruption is still going on across various departments under Tripura's CPI-M Govt but in 2014 after some deprived youths filed a case against 2010’s teachers' recruitment, High Court had terminated the teachers following the illegal recruitment which was done, without following any merit. The teachers’ lives still could be saved by the CPI-M Govt as High Court had given an open option to the state govt saying that the jobs can be saved if the deprived youths are appointed in their respective posts, but due to Chief Minister Manik Sarkar’s arrogance it was not done.

The HC's verdict was challenged in the Supreme Court by Tripura Govt but again on March 29, 2017 SC in the final hearing kept the HC’s verdict effective and fixed the last date of teachers jobs as Dec 31st, 2017. 

Even though for  more 1 year's more consideration has been begged from the SC, but nothing can be said whether SC will permit it or not.

A deputation was placed on Nov 27 to the Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty following an article written by a former justice suggesting how the teachers lives can be saved. 

That article says if SC extends the job tenure for one year more, it will not give any permanent solution to the problem, rather an special assembly or ordinance can save the teachers futures.

The article further said that only the State Govt can save the teachers lives not the court. Court will follow the law but the liabilities go to the State Govt, but ofcourse state govt has to follow the MHRD guidelines.  In the suggestion as the solution of 10323 teachers crisis,  the judge said : 1 ) The teachers who are qualified their jobs must be validated through Assembly or ordinance. Ofcourse, Madhyamik Passed will not be in the list, 2)As per the High Court's 104 No para, among the petitioners many youths were over qualified than the 10323 teachers. So, they should be appointed first. 3) Whose jobs can't be validate for them "Retrenched teachers reemployment scheme" must be started.

"When nothing is there to be lost, don't hesitate to take the decision", said the writer. Now it's to be seen what the Education Dept does, when on Dec 31st the 10323 teachers will be terminated.
