JAMMU, July 23: Power Employees and Engineers Coordination Committee (PEECC) today expressed serious concern over the suspension and attachment of 17 PDD employees including two Executive Engineer, one AEE and 14 Meter Readers/ Technicians and gave one week’s ultimatum to the higher authorities to revoke their suspension.
In an urgent meeting attended by senior leaders including Sachin Tickoo general secretary JKEEGA and Convenor PEECC Jammu, Ashok Kumar Dubey- vice president JKEEGA, Jaipal Sharma- president DEA, Sanjeev Bali – president PPEU, Deep Mehra- PPEU , Anil Slathia- Lineman and Workers Union, Jasbir Singh- ITI Employees Union, HD Singh -TEF, Tarun Gupta – president, PDEU, Balbir Singh -Draftsman Association, Kulbir Singh- EEU expressed strong resentment over the suspension and attachment orders of Executive Engineers and Assistant Executive Engineers issued by the Administrative and suspension orders of Tech-staff by Chief Engineer, JPDCL Jammu. The meeting was also attended online by Munshi Majid Ali, president JKEEGA .
They said the attachment and suspension orders are arbitrary, beyond comprehension and the staff in question have an impeccable record throughout their service career. During the peak summer, they have been doing every effort within the limited resources, to maintain smooth power supply. The staff have been performing continuous vigil on the power supply by their round the clock monitoring and even have been performing night shifts to keep things under close observation.
The members expressed strong concern that such step has severely dented the morale of the staff down the line and brought the employees and management at logger heads. The employees have been putting in more than hundred percent amidst the shortage of manpower already brought to fore by the association from time to time. The employees are now under severe stress and if such arbitrary orders are not revoked immediately, the Power scenario could get disturbed as all the employees from top to bottom are united on the issue.
JKPEECC has decided to give one week notice to the management to revoke the suspension and attachment orders failing which there shall be complete work boycott call on immediate basis starting on July 30, 2021.The responsibility of any failure of power supply shall be exclusively of the management. They sought intervention of Principal Secretary, Rohit Kansal into the matter.
