Power Employees Unveil Poster For Maha Dharna
A key flashpoint is the proposed outsourcing of operation and maintenance of the Coal Handling Plant and Ash Handling Plant at YTPS, which employees have opposed for over 45 days through various agitations
HYDERABAD: The Telangana Power Employees Joint Action Committee (TGPEJAC) on Monday unveiled the poster for a “Maha Dharna” to be held at Vidyut Soudha on August 19, demanding the immediate resolution of long-pending issues concerning employees, artisans, and pensioners of TGTRANSCO, TGGENCO, TGSPDCL, and TGNPDCL.
JAC chairman Saibaba, convener Ratnakar Rao, vice-chairman Vazeer, Tajuddin Baba, Bhupal Reddy and other leaders released the poster, expressing deep dissatisfaction over the management’s indifferent response to their June 18 memorandum seeking a joint meeting to discuss institutional and service-related problems. They said repeated protest notices failed to elicit talks, forcing the decision to hold the mass dharna.
A key flashpoint is the proposed outsourcing of operation and maintenance of the Coal Handling Plant and Ash Handling Plant at YTPS, which employees have opposed for over 45 days through various agitations. TGPEJAC has called on all power sector workers and artisans to gather in large numbers at Vidyut Soudha at 11 am on August 19 to make the protest a success.
