West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday assured full support to eligible candidates who lost school jobs following a Supreme Court order, asserting that her government will ensure they don’t remain jobless or have a break in service.
The apex court had on April 3 invalidated the appointment of 25,753 teachers and staffers in state-run and aided schools in Bengal, calling the entire selection process “vitiated and tainted”.
“I will stand by those who have lost their jobs in an unjust manner. I don’t care what others think. I will do everything to restore your dignity,” Banerjee said here at a meeting with affected candidates and school staffers.
