PSEBEA writes to CM against targeted action against senior technocrats
By Vinod Gupta
PATIALA: PSEB Engineers’ Association condemns targeted attack against a very senior technocrat of the power sector in relation to a 15 years old matter ‘
The Association in a letter to chief minister strongly feels that the arbitrary arrest of a very senior technocrat KD Choudhary, Ex-CMD of PSPCL and Sanjeev Prabhakar Retd Chief Engineer, and the manner in which the proceedings have been handled by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau do not appear to be part of a fair and impartial inquiry.
Ajay PaL Singh Atwal General Secretary said that the Association does not stand with any individual found guilty of corruption after a fair inquiry, it cannot remain a silent spectator when senior technocrats are selectively targeted in a motivated manner that demoralises the entire engineering fraternity.
The FIR is highly vague and open-ended, demonstrating that it is completely biased and is lodged with some other motive. Such actions have created fear, uncertainty, and demoralisation amongst officers working in the Power Sector, that will adversely affect the functioning of the utilities.
All the records pertaining to the case are available with the Vigilance office. Had the vigilance department been sincere in its working it could have filed the charge sheet in the last 5 years since it received the complaint. The Association believes that the Vigilance wing, which itself has come under serious cloud, is attempting to save its own image by creating a false narrative to divert the attention of the public.
The Association urges that the matter be entrusted to a sitting or retired senior High Court Judge for an independent inquiry so that truth and justice.
An emergency meeting of the Executive Committee of the Association has also been convened to deliberate upon the issue.
