LUCKNOW: Power engineers of the reserved category on Tuesday decided
to suspend their agitation against UP Power Corporation Limited
(UPPCL) management. The engineers had threatened of staging protest
from Wednesday against the UPPCL management alleging the corporation
management of being anti-dalit.
The engineers changed their decision after they had a last minute talk
with chairman-cum-managing director of UPPCL, Navneet Sehgal, late on
Tuesday evening. Later, the UP Power Association, the umbrella
association of engineers from the reserved category, in a statement
announced suspension of the agitation.
Of late, the UPPCL has been in a thick of controversies. While on one
hand the corporation has been accused of buying power at higher cost,
on the other dalit engineers have been accusing the corporation
management of harassing them. The crisis on the second issue stood
diffused but for only for six days. Association's president, KB Ram
said that the talks with the CMD have been positive. But that will be
considered only till October 17.
The association had earlier met power minister Ram Veer Upadhyay who
after considering the demands directed the CMD to take necessary steps
to ease the crisis.
