Haryana Power Engineers to observe protest day on February 2

HARYANA POWER Engineers Association has decided to observe protest day on February 2 against false implication of power engineers in corruption cases at the behest of a labour contractor and has demanded blacklisting of firm immediately.

R S Dahiya, President of Association in a press statement said that the  State Vigilance teams of Haryana have made raids on 5 places namely Karnal, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Ambala and Narwana in order to catch hold of the Officers of Haryana Vidhyut Parsaran Nigam (HVPN) by forcibly putting the currency notes in their pockets on a complaint of  a firm Shree Sham Enterprises, a outsourcing company of Faridabad.

It may be mentioned that this firm is providing labour on contract basis to HVPN.  The association has alleged that the said contractor was not depositing EPF & ESI amount of the contact employees in the concerned offices.  When the firm was asked by the officers to submit the list of EPF account of contractual labor, the firm instead of complying with legal requirements approached the vigilance with false complaints.

The association in an emergency meeting condemned the above actions and urged the Haryana Government   as well as the Management of the Power Utilities to blacklist the firm with immediate effect.
