JAMMU, Mar 7: Jammu Kashmir Electric Engineer Graduates Association (JKEEGA) has announced to go on mass protest leave if Transfer Scheme SRO of unbundling is not notified within ten days.
Decision in this regard was taken in the general council meeting of JKEEGA, held here today under the chairmanship of Er Harvrinder Singh, President, JKEEGA.
In the meeting, all the members were dismayed over the delay on the part of Government in the notification of the Transfer Scheme SRO as submitted by the Secretary, PDD. They were of the opinion that as per Section 131(4) of Electricity Act, 2003, the whole process of unbundling cannot be considered complete without the notification of Transfer Scheme.
“The very objective of unbundling is to provide reliable power supply to consumers and to seek increase in revenue realization out of electricity. And this objective cannot be fulfilled without the rationalization and reorganization of posts/staff including the creation of posts as proposed by the committee framed by Government vide its order no 164-PDD of 2019 dated 20-09-2019, which recommended for the creation of some new circles, divisions, subdivisions etc in the PDD before going for unbundling,” they explained.
The members reminded that the same proposal was as such approved by the then SAC in its decision No. 258/22/2019 dated 22-10-2019. They raised serious concerns about the governing rules as proposed in the agenda documents of Board of Directors’ recent meeting of various corporations as some of these proposed rules were not in consonance with the existing rules of CSRs.
All the members unanimously decided to bring these issues into the notice of Lieutenant Governor and the Chief Secretary for their early intervention and issue instructions downwards so as to notify the SRO (Transfer Scheme) as submitted by department without further delay.
Further, the Association decided to go for one day mass protest leave in case these issues are not resolved within next 10 days.
