THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala State Electricity Board Limited chairman and managing director B Ashok on Thursday issued an order introducing uniforms at least for two days a week for its 31,583 staff members, but it was withdrawn following stiff opposition from employee unions.
Though his intention was to elevate KSEBL’s brand image before the likely arrival of private power distribution companies in the state, the employees were divided. If the order was not withdrawn, the officers would have sported kunzite gemstone colour T-shirts and workmen spectral violet colour T-shirts from January 1.
