AP-Genco employees demand payment of salary

‘Transco CMD is creating disturbance in power sector’

The AP-Genco employees and pensioners squatted outside the Genco MD’s chamber in the Vidyut Soudha here on Monday, in protest against the non-payment of salaries and pensions for January. The AP-Transco pensioners also joined them with the same grievance. 

AP State Power Employees’ Joint Action Committee chairman P. Chandrasekhar, in a press release, said that salaries and pensions were to be paid on the first working day of every month. “However, the salaries and pensions for January are yet to be paid, whereas the DISCOMs have paid to the employees and pensioners as usual,” he pointed out. 

JAC secretary general P. Prathapa Reddy and convener B. Sai Krishna said there was never such a situation in the last three decades, adding that non-payment of salaries and pensions was a vindictive action against the employees.
