BHOPAL: A meeting was held between the agitating contractual employees of power distribution companies and the energy minister along with the department officials on Tuesday. In the meeting the government has asked for two months to find out the way to fulfil their demands.
The contractual employees of five power distribution companies are on strike to press their demand as promised by the BJP on its 2013 election mandate, that if it formed government the contractual employees would be regularised. Contractual Employees’ Association president Ramesh Rahore informed that they had the meeting with energy minister Paras Jain along with energy department ACS Iqbal Singh Bais, MD Sanjay Shukla and officers, on Tuesday. In the meeting the minister asked on what basis they could be regularised. On this he was informed that the contractual teachers were regularised after three years of service. Importantly they had faced the exam through Vyapam to get the jobs, not from any backdoor entry.
In the meeting the association raised the issue in which the outsource company was not giving joining to the employees and some of the employees were dismissed from job, without any fair reason.
The minister asked the list of such employees and assured the government would not let any injustice happen against the employees and in two months it would search out the possibilities to accept their demands.
