AIPEF opposes power ministry move to select BBMB whole-time members from outside partner states

PATIALA: Alleging that the union Power Ministry had initiated a move to formulate fresh recruitment rules and contemplating open advertisement for the post of whole-time members in the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB), the All India Power Engineers Federation (AIPEF) has opposed the move and urged the Chief Ministers of Punjab and Haryana to take up the matter seriously as it was also against the past practice of six decades which implies the whole time member could not be from outside partner States.

The association said that to contemplate open advertisement for the post of the whole-time member is a grave injustice to the major stakeholder partner states.
