Agartala, Jan 30: A group of job aspirants, who cleared Selection Test for Graduate Teacher (STGT) in 2022, hit the street in Agartala on Wednesday demanding immediate recruitment.

When the aspirants were going to meet Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha at his residence, they were stopped by police.

One of the STGT qualified candidates said, three years have already passed since we cleared the examination. We wanted to meet the Chief Minister several times but we didn't get proper response.

"Vacant posts and qualified candidates are available and the schools have shortage of teachers. But, still, the government is not recruiting," the candidate said while speaking to the media.

There are media reports that the State Government is on a move to increase the number of seats. In that case, we request the Chief Minister, who also holds Education portfolio, to appoint all the STGT qualified candidates of 2022 together, another aspirant said.
