Hanumangarh : Electricity Department officials and employees, who are carrying out a phased agitation against the privatization of Electricity Corporation, registered their protest by tying black bands at the workplace on Wednesday. Officers and employees stood in front of the office of the Superintending Engineer of Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited and raised slogans against the contract system. Employee Ramratan Chaudhary said that protest is being registered by tying black bands at the entire state level in a phased manner.
In this sequence, privatization will be strongly opposed by demonstrating at the Discom headquarters in Jodhpur on 16th December. As long as the privatization proposal is withdrawn, every kind of struggle will be carried out by the employees.
Commercial assistant Shailendra Mahala said that the state government should withdraw the privatization proposal because it would cause huge loss to the employees and the public. Electricity available at cheap rates today will become expensive. Subsidies will also be stopped from private companies. This will put a huge burden on the general public.
On this occasion Navneet Singh, Priyanka, Laxmi Devi, Ajay Singh, Om Godara, Mohit Sharma, Vikas Beniwal, Kulwant Gill, Harish Dhalia, Rajkumar Swami, Vikas Sharma, Kuldeep Sharma, Jitendra Shekhawat and many other officers and employees were present.
