AGARTALA, July 24 (TIWN): What happened to Biplab Deb's Promise about 10,000 Govt Jobs ? On September 21, 2020, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb had promised the unemployed youths of the state that soon the Govt will recruit ten thousand people and the State Govt has already started preparations for that but after 3.5 years of completion, no such attempt has been taken so far and Govt is trying to recruit employees in contracts or outsourcing basis which although can't give any future to the youths. Amid these few contractual jobs recruitment, corruption allegations are coming as recently the Nursing job aspirants held protests after being deprived of jobs even after having high scores and the less academic grade holders, juniors got the jobs. Chief Minister Biplab Deb on September 21, 2020 has told the Assembly that 10,000 Govt jobs will be given in the state soon and the Govt was preparing for that, but it is nearing a year, no recruitment as per his claim happened.

On April 18, 20211, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb while attending TSR 10 bn led organized blood donation camp at 10 Bn-Headquarter, said, "Huge numbers of youths will be recruited soon under the New Battalion (Indian Reserve (IR) Battalions of State Armed Police Force) . At the same time the problems of the TSR camps will be diminished. Govt is aware about the ongoing problems faced by the TSR jawans across camps. Our Govt is visionary and will take actions to sort out the problems", Biplab Deb said.  That promise too turned into a JUMLA.

Also many more promises of Biplab Deb like 7 lakhs jobs in 30 months, 50,000 Govt jobs by 2018-19, AIIMS hospital in Tripura were never fulfilled. 

As per a data released by Opposition CPI-M's youth wings, only around 3000 new recruitment happened in Tripura in last 40 months whereas around 23,000 people took retirement if 10323 teachers posts are also counted. On July 20, DYFI State Secretary Nabarun Deb said, "In the last 3 years no Doctors recruitment, no nurse recruitment, no medical staff recruitment is going on. IR Battalion's promise has been forgotten. It has been around 40 months of the Govt but all means of recruitment has been stopped. We have seen that for last 2 years, the TET examination has been stopped. When we go to the authority, they say that due to Covid 19 it can not be taken. Across the nation and even in the state all activities are going on but only in case of TET recruitment, all Covid problem starts".

"Earlier with the then Home Minister's photo big advertisements were done saying that TSR bn will be formed along with a woman TSR bn but that promise also could not be kept", said Nabarun Deb.

"Amid pandemic no Doctors, Nurses are being recruited. From Group-A to Group-D all recruitments are stopped", he added.

"In last 3 years, 12,836 Govt employees had gone in retirement but hardly 3,000 persons were recruited and maximum are TET. Moreover, 10323 teachers' posts are vacated. It means around 23,159 posts are vacated", said Nab.
