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.
