CHANDIGARH: The All India Power Engineers Federation (AIPEF) has urged Chief Minister Punjab for intervention to stop arbitrary actions and adhocism in the Power sector, to restore industrial peace, uphold technical leadership, reverse unjust actions, and safeguard the long‐term stability of Punjab’s power sector.
Shailender Dubey, Chairman AIPEF in letter to Chief Minister Punjab expresses serious concern over recent developments that are adversely impacting the technical integrity and institutional stability of Punjab’s power sector. Already engineers and employees of the power sector are agitating against the arbitrary actions of the Power Minister.
AIPEF strongly condemns the arbitrarily transferred the key office bearers of PSEB Engineers’ Association as a malafide and vindictive move of PSPCL management. t AIPEF requests you to withdraw these arbitrary orders.
The arbitrary suspension and removal of senior level Engineer officers and Director/ Generation on baseless and technically incorrect grounds undermine due process, damage morale, and create an atmosphere of pressure and insecurity among engineers.
AIPEF strongly opposes the move to sell power sector assets of PSPCL and PSTCL necessary for future expansions or augmentations to the transmission or distribution projects .Sale of assets of the corporations will also affect the borrowing capacity of the corporations and is also a violation of provisions of Electricity Act 2003.
