Summary:
Tripura teachers who have been dismissed from their jobs according to an SC order hit the streets in large numbers on Wednesday in a bid to protect their jobs. The agitation was led by the All Tripura Government 10323 Ad-hoc Teachers Association (ATGATA). The 10323 teachers were recruited by the then Left government from 2010 to 2014, which was challenged at the Tripura High Court. After forming the government in Tripura they also appealed in Supreme Court to extend the teachers jobs for two more years till June 30, 2010. The teachers, hence, protesting against this deadline and demanding the regularisation of their jobs hit the streets..
