Engineers Association sets ablaze staff set-up

Aurangabad, July 1:

The Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Ltd (Mahatransco) Subordinate Engineers Association burnt the staff set-up draft at the Waluj divisional office, alleging that the company administration has implemented it without their consent and it is unjust.

The agitators alleged that Mahatransco had implemented the staff set-up intending to issue permits and reduce the human resources. It will affect the company affair in the long run, and it is a plot to privatize the company. The association was not taken into consideration before implementing the proposal. After the employees' opposition, two committees of the technical experts were set up, but the reports of both these committees have not been announced yet. The association officials have brought the discrepancies of the setup to the administration, they said.

Divisional secretary of the association Avinash Chavan, joint secretary Rajendra Rathod, Praveen Joshi, Jitendra Malusare, Sambhaji Athargan, Manishi Dhighole, Sarita Swami, Rajendra Rathod, Prashant Bansode, Wasim Patel, Ajay Bhangale and others were present.
