In a dramatic turn of events, the recent notification for filling teacher vacancies has ignited a wave of protests among job seekers in West Bengal. Frustrated candidates have declared they will not fill out forms for a second examination until the state government’s review petition is heard. This decision comes after a tumultuous night of protests, where attempts to march through key areas were thwarted by police intervention.
The job aspirants,led by spokesperson Mehboob Mandal,voiced their concerns about the unfairness of taking the exam twice for a single position. With the timeline for the new examination looming, many candidates are grappling with personal and familial challenges. They argue that the process is not only burdensome but also unjust. Simultaneously occurring,political figures like Shuvendu Adhikari have labeled the notification as illegal,suggesting that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is deliberately stalling a resolution. Adhikari claims that the chief Minister is more focused on navigating the political landscape ahead of the 2026 elections than on addressing the pressing issues faced by job seekers. As tensions rise, the future of these candidates hangs in the balance, leaving many to wonder what the next steps will be in this unfolding saga.
