Agartala Sept 27: Tripura Pradesh Congress leadership on Friday addressed the press citing several abnormalities in recruitment processes.

Among various allegations, the Youth Congress alleged that youths outside the state of Tripura are securing jobs meant for local candidates or Tripura residents by obtaining fake PRTC (Permanent Resident of Tripura Certificate) through dubious means.

Addressing the reporters from state Congress headquarters, Agartala Tripura Pradesh Youth Congress president Neel Kamal Saha said, “In the recent SSC exams in Tripura, many many candidates from outside the state acquired PRTCs fraudulently, thereby competing for jobs intended for local youth”.

 This, he argued, is leading to a division of available job opportunities within the state.

Saha further alleged that brokers and a section of officials in state government departments are facilitating this process in exchange for money.

He issued a stern warning that if the administration does not take immediate action to halt these irregularities, the Youth Congress will escalate their protests.

“Plans are already in place to organize demonstrations at PRTC offices across various sub-divisional governor’s offices”, he said.

The Youth Congress’s primary demand is the immediate cessation of these corrupt practices and the identification and punishment of those involved.
