JMC member Kamal Deb asked the State Govt, how many deaths do it want to raise their sympathy for the teachers ?  JMC member Dalia Das said that Litan Nama, who became mentally ill after job-loss, died yesterday leaving his family behind.

Teachers' families are in a severe crisis and in addition, due to the Corona situation, everyone is helpless".

Late Naveen Debbarma, 10323 teacher died Today

"The government promised to take care of 10323 teachers from a humanitarian angle. These 100 families' responsibility has to be taken by the State Govt only and as the surviving teachers' situations are also the same, so the Govt must take initiative to recruit the 10323 teachers", she said.

"We are not against unemployed youths. Tripura govt should recruit them in 50,000 posts and for us the already interviewed recruitment process in 13,000 posts should be resumed by cabinet decision. Please say 10323 teachers' families. How much will you prevent us from protesting with curfew rules ? Don't force us to come on the road again.......it will be better for us to die in police firing than to die at home", said Dalia Das.
