AGARTALA, Dec 26 (TIWN): Tripura's 10323 teachers yet to lose 'hopes' as on Tuesday at Hindi High Secondary School, the teachers have sat in a meeting once again to discuss how to save their jobs. 10323 teachers now have decided to go to New Delhi and talk to the National Human Rights Commission Chief at there but nothing has been confirmed yet when they are going and who will represent them. On the other side, discussion was also held that the appeal should be from state govt side to the Human Rights Commission. The teachers have also been strict to their another point at the same time that 'Validation Act must be implemented to save their jobs' by Tripura Govt. Talking to media the teachers said, "We are now undecided what to do and thus the meeting was conducted here. As 6 months of extension has not given us relieves so we are discussing how to secure our jobs".Noteworthy, Tripura Finance Minister Bhanu Lal Saha on Dec 19 had clearly said after cabinet meeting, 'The teachers futures, jobs are uncertain'.

This partial acceptance had come after 10 years of 'Pashe Achi' slogan of the CPI-M Govt with 10323 teachers, since a case in 2010 was filed against the illegal recruitments of the teachers in 2009-10. After last week's cabinet meeting, Tripura Finance Minister Bhanu Lal Saha held a press conference referring the appointments of 10323 teachers from January 1st to June 30 on ad hoc basis for 6 months, which the SC had allowed hearing plea of State Govt on Teachers Crisis in the mid of the Session. 

Being asked by media why the Validation Act was not implemented to save 10323 teachers, Saha replied, "It's not that we didn't go through the Act. Immediately after the article published by former Justice, we sat with our legal advisers but according to us it's illegal and unconstitutional. However, sometimes issues vary from Justice to Justice and the Justices who wrote on Validation act, they wrote from their angles".

Referring the teachers raising demands for Validation Act, Saha said, "They are doing as their jobs are uncertain".

The CPI-M Govt continued to sustain the teachers about their secured futures. In 2014 when High Court with terminations of 10323 teachers jobs, asked the state govt to 'save their jobs by providing the deprived youths jobs too', but the State Govt's arrogance stretched the issue at Supreme Court and finally lost again on March 29, 2017. 

After that State Govt appealed at SC for revision of the judgment and again the state govt lost the case, but SC asked Tripura Govt if it wants 10323 teachers can be appointed on ad hoc basis to diminish teachers crisis, but just maximum for 6 months. SC also said that 'no further appeal in this regard will be accepted'. 

Now, the teachers left undecided what to do after they continued a 7 years long tension since 2010.
