The executive committee of the PSEB Engineers Association has condemned the direct involvement of the state government in postings and transfers of engineers, thereby delaying the promotions of officers in the process.
Association members said the approval of each office order from the state government was unprecedented in the history of the PSEB. They added that the Board was fully empowered and competent to decide service matters of its employees, including promotions, posting and transfers.
The executive committee criticised the Board management for surrendering its autonomy and allowing interference of the state government in its everyday functioning. The engineers demanded regular promotions of officers against vacancies each month and framing of a transfer policy to regulate the postings and transfers of officers.
