After the assurance from the Punjab chief minister Capt Amrinder Singh to look into protesting PSEB Engineers demand and meeting with three member committee, PSEB Engineers Association has decide to once again defer their agitation, till July 30, 2021. Engineers were protesting from the last many days, against the non-fulfillment of their demands.

“The three member committee constituted to examine the demands of Employees Association/ Unions of PSPCL/ PSTCL with pending important financial issues comprising Anirudh Tiwari (IAS), ACS Development, A Venu Prasad (IAS) CMD, PSPCL and  Abhinav Trikha (IAS) Secretary Finance met the representatives of Engineer Association. Now, the committee members will appraise the chief minister about the meeting by July 20,2021. Later the association agrees to postpone their protest till July 30,2021, keeping in mind the present power crises in Punjab” said the spokesperson on the PSEB Engineers Association.

Now, PSEB Engineers association has decided that they will return their official mobile phone sims on July 30,2021, as per their revised plan, if the govt, management fail to solve our pending demands.

The members of PSEB Engineers’ Association comprising all the officers of PSPCL/ PSTCL from the rank of Assistant Engineer to Engineer-in-Chief engineers have already decided to not to keep their mobiles off after 5.00 PM (2.00 pm-new office timings) and will join the official What’s app group, which they exited as a part of their protests and work to rule at thermal power plants , due to the non-resolution of their long pending genuine demands. Association assures that in the interest of the power sector, all engineers will continue to work day and night to ensure power supply to the consumers of the State despite the current limitations being imposed upon the engineers for no fault of their own.

Call of duty-today engineer’s association won’t return their mobile Sims to the management. Earlier, PSEB Engineers association had decided to return their official mobile phone sims on July 9,2021, as per their previous plan, if the govt, management fail to solve their pending demands.

They pointed that the “PSEB Engineers’ Association has historically been a vanguard of the Punjab Power Sector and has always kept the operational and financial efficiency of the power sector on the top of its agenda, even the demand charter of Association reflects this long-standing philosophy. “

Showing their concern, the spokesperson said “Association is deeply concerned that the State power sector is being forced into a mess by ignoring the expert technical advice. May recall the various communications of the association regarding the technically unsound decisions to close State sector thermals and total reliance on the private IPPs for meeting with the power demand of the State. Despite strong protest by the Association, the recently renovated and healthy thermal plant at Bathinda was dismantled and two healthy units at Ropar thermal are still being kept non-operational. Both Bathinda and Ropar plants had plenty of useful life still remaining. Moreover, these working power stations were closed without making any alternate arrangements for power.”

“Engineers have been continuously cautioning the management and Punjab Government regarding the looming power crisis. It was brought to the notice that the non-technical decisions being taken by the management on the name of cost-saving, will dearly cost the consumers of Punjab in the form of unreliable power supply and higher electricity tariffs. Unfortunately, the fears of engineers have now come true and Punjab is now facing a severe power crisis during the peak summer season. Due to improper planning and on the name of cost-saving, neither sufficient manpower was hired, nor sufficient material has been procured and now the claims regarding adequate power availability stand exposed by the recurring power cuts being imposed on all categories of consumers” highlighted the engineers association.
