Thousands of Trained Graduate Teachers (TGT) and Panchayat Secretary aspirants gathered outside the Raj Bhawan on Thursday to protest in support of their demand against the delay in declaration of results and subsequent recruitment by the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC).

“The second tier of exam was held in July 2019 and the final verification of documents was notified on August 20. There has been no development since the verification of documents,” said Chaubey.
The protesters thronged at the venue with placard in their hands and shouting slogan that ‘Hamare bhavisya ke sath bahut hua khilwad, ab nyay kare Hemant sarkar’ (there is immense game happens with our future, now Hemant Government will do justice with us).
The aspirant informed that when Hemant Soren took oath as Chief Minister they thinks that there is chances that they would get joining letter at its earliest. Chaubey said, “Due to indifferent attitude of the last government our future is hanging in dilemma now with the oath taking of Soren we are hoping that we will get the job.”
