Agartala, 10th November 2026 : Unemployed aspirants for the post of Jail Warder staged another protest and submitted a deputation on Tuesday, demanding an early announcement of the written examination date and completion of the long-pending recruitment process.
The candidates said the recruitment notification was issued in December 2022, and physical tests were conducted the same year. However, despite the publication of the list of physically qualified candidates in January this year, the department has yet to announce the written examination date.
Claiming that more than 9,000 candidates have qualified in the physical tests, the aspirants said they had submitted nearly 40 deputations since 2023 but received no concrete response from the authorities.
They alleged that officials have repeatedly asked them to wait, while an earlier assurance by Abdul Aziz to complete the recruitment within six months has also remained unfulfilled.
Expressing frustration over nearly five years of uncertainty and unemployment, the candidates appealed to Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha to intervene and ensure that the written examination is conducted without further delay. They said prolonged uncertainty had caused immense mental and social distress, particularly as many qualified candidates continued to face questions from their families and society despite having cleared the physical tests.
