The Himachal Power Engineers Association has expressed resentment over the extension given to retiring engineers. They have urged Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur to abandon the unhealthy practice of granting extension and strictly follow the Recruitment and Promotion Rules for appointment of directors of State Electricity Board Limited (HPSEBL).
Association members said the rules provided that directors of the HPSEBL be recruited through interviews and engineers below the age of 57 were eligible for appointment.
The association made special reference to the post of director (technical), falling vacant on May 13, on completion of BM Sood’s tenure.
