Dera Bassi MLA catches PSPCL junior engineer drunk on duty
In the second such case in the past two weeks, Dera Bassi MLA Kuljit Singh Randhawa claimed to have caught a junior engineer (JE) of the Punjab State Power Corporation (PSPCL) drunk on duty at Handesra village in Dera Bassi on Saturday evening.
The JE Employees’ Union on the other hand claimed that the engineer, Krishan Kumar, was on official leave and attending a family function when he was called for duty. The union members said they will hold a protest against the MLA on Monday if any action is taken against Kumar.
The MLA had reached Handesra village on Saturday evening following a fire in a field. Discovering a power outage in the area and requirement of water motor pumps for fire fighting, the MLA directed senior PSPCL officials to restore the electricity supply.
