On April 3, 2025, the Supreme Court, in an unprecedented judgment, nullified the appointments of 26,000 secondary and higher-secondary government school teachers in West Bengal. These teachers were recruited through the West Bengal School Service Commission examination in 2016. Subsequent allegations of corruption in the recruitment process prompted a CBI-led investigation ordered by the Calcutta High Court in 2021. Following the CBI's report, the Calcutta High Court terminated these teachers in 2023.

May Day Observance at tea garden
Braving thunderstorm and rains, nearly 100 workers assembled at Dipa Line of Sachindra Chandra Tea Estate in Khoribari, Darjeeling district to observe historic May Day.
People of West Bengal, particularly the working class of the state voted decisively and conclusively against the BJP during the recently concluded assembly election. Political observers are of the opinion that this is a defeat of Modi - Amit Shah duopoly, who travelled by air to this state in the thick of election like daily passengers and who frantically tried to capture Bengal. It was also held as a befitting reply to the EC, which was shamelessly bent in favour of Modi and BJP dragging the polls for 8 phases amid raging second wave of COVID.
Comrade Achintya Sinha - Senior Member of the All India Secretariat of AIUTUC and a veteran trade union leader, breathed his last at Calcutta on 16 April 2021 at the age of 75 years due to multiple organ failure being infected by Covid19. He was associated for a long period in the trade union movement of the various sections of the working people across the country. His demise is a big loss to the TU movement of country.
AICCTU conveys its deepest condolences.
Red salute to Com. Achintya Sinha!
