Punjab govt amends eligibility rules for PSPCL CMD’s post

Patiala: Amid growing opposition from officials and engineers of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) against the appointment of a “junior-level IAS officer” as the chairman-cum-managing director (CMD), the Punjab government has amended the eligibility rules for the post, diluting the qualification criteria for the top position in the power utility.

Earlier, the post of the CMD could be held by an IAS officer of the rank of principal secretary or financial commissioner, whether serving or retired.
