Electricity staff protest for salaries

VIJAYAWADA

Electricity employees staged lunch-hour demonstrations across the State on Thursday in protest against the non-payment of salaries for April, under the aegis of AP State Power Employees’ Joint Action Committee (APSPE-JAC).

Gate meetings were held at all Genco plants and offices of the AP-Transco and DISCOMs, according to a press release by JAC convener B. Sai Krishna. He said protests would continue till the government paid them salaries and expressed resentment that delayed payments had become a regular phenomenon.
