Power employees plan agitations against ‘bad’ policies of goverments

VIJAYAWADA: Demanding that the 10,000 megawatts (MW) solar power projects execution be handed over to the AP Power Generation Corporation (APGENCO) Ltd instead of the proposed Build Operate Transfer (BOT) model and opposing franchising of the distribution companies (Discoms) as proposed by the Centre, the state power sector employees issued agitation notice to the ‘adamant’ managements.

The employees, who plan to stage almost month-long demonstrations from October 19, said that the liabilities of power utilities were because of the ‘wrong policies’ of state and central governments, regulators and managements of the Discoms.
