Power employees JAC to stage protest over untimely transfers
The Telangana Electricity Employees Joint Forum has announced a protest at Mint Compound against untimely and unilateral transfers by power utilities. Employees have urged the government to postpone transfers till June 2026 and said they will boycott a scheduled video conference
Hyderabad: Voicing dissent against the ‘unilateral’ move for untimely general transfers by TGGENCO, the Telangana Electricity Employees Joint Forum has decided to stage a protest at Mint Compound on Wednesday.
In a statement issued here on Tuesday, the employees’ forum said both TGPEJAC and TEEJAC had submitted representations to the government, especially Chief Secretary K Ramakrishna Rao, appealing to postpone the general transfers in TGSPDCL and TGNPDCL. However, there was no positive response from the DISCOM managements. These moves had triggered unrest among employees, who were agitated over the untimely transfers and the unilateral move to issue transfer guidelines.
Under these circumstances, the TGPEJAC and TEEJAC held a meeting on Tuesday. It was decided to stage a protest at Mint Compound on Wednesday against the ‘dictatorial attitude’ of the managements, the forum said, stressing further that employees would not participate in any video conference scheduled on Wednesday. The forum once again appealed to Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka to intervene and issue directions to the DISCOM managements to postpone the transfers to June 2026.
