Many helpless terminated teachers have even committed suicide.
However, Litan said that he will not choose the path of ending his life, but instead will sell his kidneys and even his eyes if need be.
“I got the job on the basis of my qualifications. I didn’t bribe anyone to get the job. Government should think about us,” Litan Deb said.
Altogether 10,323 teachers across Tripura had lost their jobs in March last year due to a Tripura High Court ruling in 2017 that termed their recruitment process to be faulty.
