AGARTALA, Sep 3 (TIWN): SSA, RMSA teachers received a major jolt in the Assembly on Monday after Education Minister Ratanlal Nath said that SSA, RMSA teachers are central govt employees and central govt already stopped funding for them whereas Tripura Govt extended their jobs till September 2019, however, the Central Govt has considered that period and allocated funding till September 2019 and after that what will happen, it can not be said now, but Education dept checking the matters. A local newspaper also stated that Nath said, this regularization issue must be under legal process and State Govt can't act on this. Before election, Ratan Lal Nath rushed to SSA’s hunger strike and promised them to be regularized if Govt changes. But after 1 year 6 months of the BJP Govt, Nath on yesterday said that Rs. 166 crores 16 lakhs and 86 thousands have been spent for the teachers by State Govt since Centre stopped funding for them. This has erupted massive resentment among the SSA teachers.

Today, SSA teachers’ association chief Bastab Debbarma told other teachers, “As you are all aware of the present condition of our job,my dear association members kindly keep our unity.I like to meet with all the association members (5608)because we are really in critical condition and in this situation what we have to do or not to do.Let us talk together and our association's decision will tell to the govt/department after the mass discussion through press meet.Kindly give your opinion”.

If SSA, RMSA teachers are not regularized then it will be a clear cheating by the State Govt of Tripura and enough proof of BJP’s JUMLA.
