HPSEBL union seeks jobs for kin of deceased staff

Nurpur, June 29

Members of the Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Ltd (HPSEBL) Employees’ Union has criticised the board management for neglecting the dependents of deceased employees, who had a natural death.

Kuldeep Kharwara, state president of the union, said that there was a provision of 5 per cent reservation for the dependents of the employees, who had a natural death, for recruitment as Class III and IV employees in the board, but the management was not providing jobs to them.

Kharwara said that 820 such files had been lying pending since 2006, causing hardships to the dependents of the deceased employees. He added that he urged the Chief Minister to intervene and direct the HPSEBL management to honour the provision, so that the dependents of the deceased employees could get justice. — OC
