Teachers Protest for Job Security Amidst SSC Controversy in West Bengal
In a dramatic turn of events, teachers in West Bengal are intensifying their protests outside the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) headquarters, demanding the reinstatement of their jobs. Following a Supreme Court ruling that annulled 26,000 teaching posts, these educators are not only seeking clarity on their employment status but are also calling for clarity in the recruitment process. Their agitation reflects deep-seated frustrations over alleged irregularities and the lack of communication from authorities.
The protesters have voiced their demands for the publication of a merit-based candidate list and the release of all OMR sheets related to the recruitment process.Tensions escalated recently when police summoned two teachers, Habibullah and Abdullah, for questioning, leading to accusations from the protesters that the police are attempting to undermine their movement. The situation has been further elaborate by the involvement of student organizations, such as the ABVP, which are also demanding the launch of online admission portals for colleges and universities. As clashes between police and protesters unfold, the teachers remain resolute, warning that their fight for justice will not be easily quelled.
