Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) engineers have decided to go on strike on November 26 in protest against the state government's move to sell land parcels owned by the PSPCL.
Member of the PSEB Engineers' Association will launch a statewide protest from November 26, demanding the immediate withdrawal of the decision to monetise PSPCL properties, resumption of the process of setting up 2X800 MW supercritical units at Ropar and unconditional revocation of the suspension of Chief Engineer Harish Sharma.
Association president Jasvir Dhiman said engineers had repeatedly conveyed their concerns over the move to Power Minister Sanjeev Arora and Secretary (Power) Basant Garg.
“Even though PSPCL records show considerable improvements and reduction in cost in the performance of Guru Gobind Singh Super Thermal Plant, Ropar, and Guru Angad Dev Thermal Plant, Goindwal Sahib, Harish Sharma was suspended merely on the basis of a note from the Power Minister,” said Dhiman.
