KSEB chairman bans siege by officers as CPM belittles ally
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: KSEB chairman and managing director B Ashok has banned the officers’ association from laying siege to Vydyuthi Bhavan on Tuesday. Terming it as a violation of service rules, Ashok has warned of stringent action against those employees who take part in the siege.
Power Minister K Krishnankutty is slated to hold talks with the CITU, INTUC and AITUC on the dispute in the promotion of linemen, but not with the KSEBOA. When the indefinite protest by the KSEBOA reached a week on Monday, its president M G Suresh Kumar’s article in CPM mouthpiece ‘Deshabhimani’ is seen as the party endorsing the protest against LDF constituent JD(S)’s minister holding the power portfolio.
