CHANDIGARH: PSPCL has decided to recruit retired technical staff to meet with the manpower shortages and to maintain uninterrupted power supply to consumers during this paddy season.
Chief engineer central zone on Tuesday has written to the superintending engineers to send the names of retired technical staff along with their consent within one day. Their age as on 31st. December 2024 should be less than 62 years. The letter mentions that in this summer and paddy season the PSPCL is facing difficulties to attend to consumer complaints and this leads to tarnishing the image of the corporation.
It may be mentioned that different employees associations have been highlighting the technical staff shortage in all the subdivisions and demanding filling of vacant technical posts so that consumers grievances could be addressed in a time schedule. PSPCL is opting for giving re-employment to retirees instead of offering regular jobs to youth.
