Placards, slippers and newspaper pages carrying news of TET candidates' 84-hour-long sit-in demanding primary school teachers' jobs lay scattered at Karunamoyee area near here on Friday morning, hours after the police removed them from there.

Around 500 protesters, who claimed to have qualified for the 2014 Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) but were still omitted from the merit list, were on a dharna on a road near the head office of the West Bengal Board of Primary Education in Salt Lake in North 24 Parganas district.
