**SSC Job Aspirants Plan Nude Protest March Demanding Reinstatement**

**Kolkata, India** – Job aspirants who lost their positions following a Supreme Court order related to irregularities in the School Service Commission (SSC) recruitment process are planning a half-naked protest march from Sealdah to Nabanna (the state secretariat) tomorrow, Friday. The protesters are demanding a meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and are adamant that they will not participate in any re-examination.

The Supreme Court ruling invalidated the entire 2016 SSC panel, affecting approximately 26,000 teachers, Group C, and Group D employees. The court directed the state to conduct fresh recruitments to fill the vacancies by December.

While the state government has announced a recruitment drive with a proposed advertisement on May 30th, online applications open until June 16, panel release on November 15, and counseling on November 20, the affected job seekers are rejecting the prospect of another exam. They insist on being reinstated based on their previous qualifications.

“We will hold a massive procession from Sealdah tomorrow demanding a meeting with the Chief Minister in Nabanna and not sitting for the exam,” a representative of the protestors stated during a press conference. “We want to know what steps the Chief Minister, the commission, or the state government will take to reinstate those who are deserving and did not compromise with corruption, without conducting another examination.”

The protesters argue that elected officials should also face re-election before they are required to prove their eligibility again, given that they were elected using the votes of the job aspirants.

Chief Minister Banerjee has announced the creation of 44,203 vacancies, including those resulting from the Supreme Court order, as well as additional posts in secondary and higher secondary schools, and Group C and D positions.

Despite the government’s efforts, the affected job seekers continue their sit-in demonstration in front of Bikash Bhavan, the state’s education department headquarters, vowing to continue their protest until their demands are met.
