Northeast Desk, 4th May: The Twipra Students Federation (TSF), a constituent of the North East Students Organization (NESO), has issued a demand for the Tripura State Cooperative Bank (TSCB) to conduct a special exam for the victims of a tragic accident that occurred on May 2nd last year. The federation also called for job offers to be extended to members of the deceased’s families.
The accident, which took place near Dittokcherra in Diam Hasao, involved a bus traveling from Agartala to Guwahati. Among the casualties was Dibraj Debbarma from Tripura’s Dhalai District, who was en route to appear for the Tripura State Cooperative Bank exam. Additionally, six individuals sustained severe injuries and were treated at Harangajao before being referred to Silchar Medical College.
In a memorandum addressed to the Managing Director of Tripura State Co-operative Bank, TSF Vice President John Debbarma highlighted the unfortunate incident and its impact on aspirant students traveling for the TSCB competitive exams.
The memorandum stated, “Due to the accident, the aspirant candidates were hospitalized in the state of Assam, for which the victims of the accident will be unable to appear in the examination. Therefore, in this regard, we requested you to kindly conduct a special exam for the victims of the incident in the state of Tripura. This measure would ensure fairness and equal opportunities for all aspirant candidates, considering the unforeseen circumstances that prevented some from appearing for the exam.”
Furthermore, TSF urged the MD to consider providing compensation to the victims and their families, as well as offering employment opportunities to members of the deceased’s families. Such support, the federation emphasized, would aid in the physical, emotional, and financial recovery of those affected by the tragic incident.
The TSF memorandum concluded with an appeal for prompt attention to the matter, highlighting the significance of alleviating the suffering of the victims and their families while demonstrating the government’s commitment to justice and welfare.
