Patiala, January 23
The Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB) Engineers’ Association has hailed the appointment of retired PSEB chief engineer Virinder Singh as the member of the Punjab State Electricity Regulatory Commission (PSERC).

In a release issued here, association president HS Bedi and general secretary Bhupinder Singh said the appointment of Virinder would strengthen the professional edge of the PSERC, which not only decide the electricity tariff but also the important issues concerning the power sector, which is passing through a critical phase at the moment.

“Earlier, when technocrats like SK Sharma and LS Deol were members of the PSERC, the PSEB had registered a record profit during the fiscal year 2003-04. Virinder is known for his technical competence and hence the state government has taken a right decision to appoint him as the member of the PSERC,” they added
