Tribune News Service

Panipat, December 3
The Haryana Power Engineers Association (HPEA) has expressed resentment over the proposed “backdoor” entry of Directors in Uttar Haryana Bidhyut Vitran Nigam (UHBVN).

Sumer Singh Yadav, general secretary of the association in a letter to the Power Minister has conveyed the resentment among engineers on the possible appointment of retired engineers as Directors of the nigam at the expense of serving engineers.

The extended tenure of the nigam’s directors expired on November 15. It is understood that some officers are again being given another term and retired officers adjusted as Directors of the power utility. The association has requested the Power Minister to reverse the policy of placing retired officers on prime posts. Serving engineers can contribute more for the power utility it says.
