It is to be mentioned here that the SSA teachers earlier sat for the hunger strike from August 1 in Agartala for a week to press the state government to make them regular like many other states in the country.

Bastab Debbarma, secretary of Tripura Sarva Siksha Abhiyan Teachers’ organization stated that despite the Centre allocates huge fund for regular teachers’ employees under the scheme, the government didn’t make us regular till now. We have given ultimatum to the government, but we didn’t get any positive reply. So, we have decided to go for pen-down strike and would continue till our demand is met.

However, the association has refused to withdraw its proposed pen-down strike saying that it will continue the strike till their demands are fulfilled. "Since our demands are yet to be addressed fully, the question of withdrawing the proposed indefinite pen-down strike does not arise. We cannot think of withdrawing our strike when our demands have been fulfilled only partially," the association secretary added.
