AGARTALA, Sep 3 (TIWN): Massive resentment erupted among unemployed youths over slow recruitment under the Health Dept. Over 5000 Nurses, 2000 Paramedical, 400 Doctors are unemployed in Tripura.

Paramedical passed out unemployed youths have demanded permanent recruitment under the Health Dept. A protest was staged in front of the Health Dept today over massive unemployment problems yesterday.

The unemployed youths also placed a deputation to the Health Dept Director over the issue. Right now over 2000 Paramedical passed out youths are unemployed in Tripura.

Talking to the media, the job aspirants said, "It has been many years that there is nil recruitment. Even after requesting the Dept again and again, no development came to the matter. Moreover, recently on April 24 a notification was given seeking contractual employees who will get Rs. 20 per sample collection for Covid. First of all, we do not deserve such jobs, but the Govt has privatized the Diagnostic centres and as a result, private companies will always try to get the maximum benefits. They are appointing unemployed youths through outsourcing, exploiting them with low payments. We demand a permanent recruitment for our secure future".
