PSEB junior engineers defer agitation

Patiala, June 29

Council for Junior Engineers (PSEB) has decided to defer its ongoing agitation (from June 25 to July 6) for the next 15 days following assurances given by the PSPCL management at a meeting. The employees had boycotted stores and ME labs, and kept their mobile phones switched off.

The meeting between the council and the management was chaired by Chairman-cum-Managing Director of PSPCL A Venu Prasad. State president of the council Paramjit Singh Khattra, general secretary Davinder Singh were present.

Davinder Singh said the PSPCL management had agreed to resolve the initial pay issue of power junior engineers. “The council leadership cautioned the management that in case the latter failed to honour the assurances as per the given time line, the power junior engineers will be compelled to revive its deferred agitation,” he said. — TNS
