Rumpa Singh, a history teacher at Raibaghini High School in Canning, was found unconscious at her rented home in Nabapalli after the Supreme Court canceled the 2016 teacher recruitment panel. Originally from Medinipur, she had been working at the school for years. Following her divorce, she lived alone in Canning. On Thursday, after the court's verdict, her landlord noticed something was wrong and later found her unconscious in her room.
She was rushed to Canning Hospital, where she is currently undergoing treatment. A suicide note was recovered from the scene, in which she mentioned her struggles. Hospital authorities have confirmed that she is stable. Police have taken possession of the note and are investigating the matter. Officials have not disclosed further details regarding its contents.
The Supreme Court’s verdict has affected several teachers recruited through the 2016 panel, leading to widespread distress. Protests have erupted in various parts of the state following the cancellation of jobs. Authorities have yet to announce any alternative measures for the affected individuals.
