ADVERTISEMENTThe SSC for the hill region was revived by the state government in January this year after over two decades. The six-member SSC for Darjeeling region, formed in January, was given an office at the Gorkha Rangamanch Bhavan in Darjeeling. Since 2012, hill candidates applying for teaching posts on grounds of death-in-harness cases have been facing difficulties in securing jobs. Sources said that the job applications of these candidates were being forwarded to the School Service Commission (SSC) office in Calcutta through the GTA principal secretary. They do not come to the SSC office regularly.
