Hundreds of **school job aspirants** protested outside **Bikash Bhavan**, the education department headquarters, demanding prompt job appointments.
Protestors highlighted the **delays caused by legal issues** despite passing the **2016 State Level Selection Test (SLST)**.
Out of **23 lakh candidates** competing for **25,000+ positions**, only **25,753** appointment letters were issued but later invalidated by the Calcutta High Court in April 2022.
Protestors expressed frustration over an uncertain future due to ongoing court battles, urging for an end to the wait to start work.
Officials stated they could not intervene as the matter is currently **sub-judice**, awaiting another Supreme Court hearing this month.
