Call by All India Power Engineers Federation (AIPEF)
President/General Secretary – All AIPEF Constituents…Attn Please
We are aware that UP Government is pushing hard to privatise two UP DISCOMS by creating atmosphere of fear and victimizing power employees & engineers.
Against continued victimization, employees went to the residence of UP Energy Minister Shri Arvind Kumar Sharma on 22nd July but as he refused to meet the delegation, employees had no option except to register their protest democratically.
In a video of UP Energy Minister Sri Arvind Kumar Sharma is openly threatening severe action quoting example of mythology.
On July 09, one day token Strike was a national call of NCCOEEE & AIPEF. Power employees & engineers held demonstrations across the country on July 09. Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board (HPSEB) Ltd management issued the most draconian & dictatorial order on July 10 imposing ban on meetings and demonstrations in premises through out the State.
Against such undemocratic move President HPSEB Engineers Association & Convener JAC Er Lokesh Thakur who is Additional Secretary General of AIPEF also held a Press Conference along with Sri Hiralal Verma Co Convener JAC. Rampant corruption is prevailing at top management level in HPSEB Ltd. This issue was also highlighted in the Press Conference.
Against holding Press Conference, a charge sheet has been given to Er. Lokesh Thakur and Sri Hiralal Verma. It is noteworthy that registered/recognised associations and unions have full right to hold Press Conference and it is their duty to highlight the corruption if it is there at managerial level.
Er. Lokesh Thakur and Sri Hiralal Verma have been transferred and attached with Chairman to initiate disciplinary proceedings against them for major penalty.
Both these developments in UP & HP are very serious and have raised lot of concern for all of us.
All are requested to be in ALERT mode in case any victimizing action is taken in UP and HP.
Inquilab Zindabad!
AIPEF
