KOLKATA: (Apr 17) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday welcomed the Supreme Court’s order temporarily extending the services of ‘untainted’ terminated teachers, stating that there was now a “sense of relief”.
In a major relief, the apex court extended till December 31 the services of terminated teachers found untainted by the CBI.
Addressing a press conference at the state secretariat Nabanna shortly after the court ruling, Banerjee said, “The court has given time till December. This is a relief for now. We were concerned about their salaries as the earlier ruling had barred salary disbursal. We were looking for an alternative way. The court has responded positively to our plea so that they don’t suffer.”
