PSEB ended their agitation against bifurcation of the body

Employees of Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB) ended their agitation against bifurcation of the body after Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal assured them that their interest will be protected.


"The chief minister has assured us that there will be no privatisation and the interest of employees will be taken care of," Manjit Chahal, spokesman of Joint Forum of PSEB employees’ bodies, said here.


"That is why we have decided not to extend our agitation and employees will join their duties tomorrow," he said.



Punjab government yesterday gave its nod for bifurcation of PSEB.


A group of employee leaders including Surinder Pehalwan representing Employees Federation met Badal this afternoon.


Chahal said that during the meeting, Badal "assured us that service norms involving pension, gratuity and leave encashment would be framed within ten days".
