AGARTALA, Nov 24 (TIWN): 2022’s TET-qualified unemployed youth were arrested Sunday by Agartala cops after they gheraoed chief minister Dr. Manik Saha’s residential area. The unemployed youths have been striving to meet the chief minister for a long time but they were not given any opportunity to meet him led them to sit in protest. The agitated unemployed youths were arrested by police. Censored from talking to the media, the job-seekers managed to deliver few words amid hassled by police and slammed the government for its negligence over the 2022’s TET-qualified youths’ issues.

An agitating woman said, “What is our fault? Qualifying in TET was our fault? We took loans to study and are now unable to pay the loans. Only 249 passed in 2022 in TET out of 20,000. We were served with TET certificates too but it has been two years there is no sign of recruitment. Many of us are becoming overaged. What should we do? Every time we have to come like this, leaving our children at home.”

“The pain is when we see the chief minister is going to so many programs but he does not have little time to us. Over 15 times, we met and tried to make an appointment but we failed,” said an arrested young man while talking to the media from a police bus.

The job seekers are 2022's TET-qualified candidates, who have been urging for employment for years.

“Schools in Tripura are reeling under teachers’ crisis. There is no legal obstacle to recruiting us as per the Supreme Court’s order, but we are roaming from here to there and whenever we visit a related office on our recruitment, we are sent to another office. That’s what we are doing for two years without any outcome,” he added.
