The UP Power Officers Association held its state executive’s meeting here on Tuesday and passed five resolutions pertaining to different issues including the alleged harassment of Dalit engineers by the management in various energy corporations.
In a press statement issued after the meeting, association working president Avdhesh Kumar Verma said the association demanded the UP Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) management to issue written orders asking discoms not to be prejudiced against Dalit engineers.
“There are a number of Dalit engineers who are not able to get promotion because departmental inquiries were initiated against them just before their promotion is due and inquiries are not being completed,” he alleged.
