Agartala, July 04: As decided by Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha-led cabinet on Tuesday, Permanent Resident of Tripura Certificate (PRTC) would be required for recruitment in all government jobs from now onwards.
Addressing a press conference at the secretariat, Minister for Tourism Sushanta Chowdhury announced the cabinet decision and added that the candidates from outside the state would be given relaxation if eligible candidates are not found in the state.
Chowdhury said that the cabinet also approved procurement of more 35,000 MT paddy directly from the farmers at Minimum Support Price (MSP) during this Kharif season.
An amount of around Rs. 85.64 crore would be spent for implementing the decision, he said, adding that the decision would largely benefit the local farmers.
Since formation of the BJP-IPFT government in 2018, 1.71 lakh MT paddy has been procured from the farmers at an expenditure of Rs. 327 crore.
