KSEB officers’ association president suspended

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: KSEB Officers’ Association president MG Suresh Kumar has been suspended by board chairman and managing director B Ashok for unlawful protest held on Tuesday against him. The Left leader’s suspension has been approved by Power Minister K Krishnankutty. He had served in the personal staff of former power ministers A K Balan and M M Mani.

When the 23rd CPM party congress is going on in Kannur, the board CMD’s decision to suspend the Left leader heading the KSEBOA has come at the most inopportune time. The officers association had held a token half-day protest on Tuesday against the suspension of executive engineer, A Jasmine Babu, challenging the dies non order by the CMD. Few protesters had barged into the board room which antagonised the director board members and the CMD further.
