JAMMU, May 16: J&K Non-Gazetted Electrical Employees Association (JKNGEEA) has demanded the Government to declare employees and engineers of the Department as front line workers.
In a joint statement issued here today, president JKNGEEA Fareed Ahmad Mir, general secretary Mohd Maqbool, state secretary Gurmeet Singh and others expressed serious concern and anguish over the Government’s step motherly treatment towards a large section of front line workers especially electricity employees and engineers in power sector who are becoming victim to COVID-19 pandemic and sacrificing their lives daily in dozens while ensuring regular power supplies to hospital and general public.
“These Power Sector employees and engineers are maintaining 24×7 electricity supplies and are vulnerable to virus. They are getting badly affected and due to this deadly virus many power employees and engineers have sacrificed their life,” they said and appealed the authorities concerned to cover employees and engineers as “Front Line Workers”.
