Members of the technical services wing of the Powercom contractual employees today staged a protest and burnt effigy of the state government and the department over their long pending demands at the Thermal Colony here.
Demanding regularisation of contractual staff, protesting members of the union raised slogans against the state government. The members of the union said if the government did not fulfill their demands, then a state-wide protest along with family members of the union would be held on December 14 and January 6.
