Lucknow: Under the aegis of UP Rajya Vidyut Karmchari Sangharsh Samiti, power engineers on Wednesday constituted a committee to work with UPPCL management to bring about necessary reforms in the energy sector.
The development came a day after the association of power employees and engineers called off their work boycott in protest against the proposed privatization of Purvanchal power distribution company after a written agreement with UPPCL management.
The samiti has also decided to hand over a detailed work plan to energy minister Srikant Sharma on October 19. In a statement, the association said that the committees have been formed at the level of UPPCL and various distribution companies. The committees will coordinate with regional officers before giving final touches to the plan for reforms.
President of the samiti Shailendra Dubey said workshops and seminars would be organised by distribution companies to discuss steps to improve revenue collection, technical knowhow and consumer satisfaction. On the basis of inputs generated from seminars, a formal plan outlay will be prepared in consultation with regional officers. The final plan will be submitted to the state government. “UPPCL management should strive to create a positive atmosphere and enable better coordination with engineers,” the samiti said.
