Take stakeholders in confidence before unbundling PDD: Mula Ram

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Sept 19: Former Minister and senior Congress leader, Mula Ram raised serious concern over the move of Government to unbundle the Power Development Department.
In the meeting held here today organized by Hari Singh Chib, president, DCC Rural, the former Minister said that there is no transparency in unbundling the department and the jobs of more than 30,000 employees are at stake as there is no detailed transition plan for the employees.
Mula Ram emphasized that the employee-fraternity of PDD are concerned about their future in these companies since the road map is not clear. These companies shall make their own recruitment and promotion rules leading to a chaos, he added.
Chib, while extending full support to the agitation of PDD employees against the unbundling of the department, asked Government to beware of taking any steps which leads to turmoil in the State. He asked the Government to take stakeholders in confidence before taking any step regarding the privatization of PDD.
Chib asserted that the daily wagers are already become the victim of Government’s apathy. “The previous BJP regime had assured that all these engagements would be regularised. However, instead of regularising them, the administration is issuing such orders which create confusion and chaos. The callous attitude of the administration has put this hapless lot to tremendous hardships,” he added.
He asked the Governor’s administration to regularize all the casual, seasonal, adhoc, contractual, need based and daily rated workers, who are working for years together.
