Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 15: Power Employees under the banner of PECC comprising of various Unions of PDD led by, Er. Sachin Tickoo General Secretary JKEEGA, Er.Jaipal Sharma, President DEA, Ajaz Kazmi and Sanjeev Bali of PPEU held a condolence meeting on the sad and untimely demise of Jagdeep Singh Sasan ,Assistant Ex. Engineer who was performing his official duties in the Power Development Department throughout this Pandemic COVID-19 and contracted infection and succumbed to the virus.
PECC has time and again approached government to bring the Power Employees under the ambit of the COVID-19 Insurance scheme meant for the front line workers and it is deplorable that Power Employees have been left out of the scheme even though it is not possible to imagine any service possible without the contribution of the Power sector. The Power employees have been putting their strenuous efforts to ensure uninterrupted power supply during the Pandemic to all the Households, Quarantine centers, and Hospitals. The Power employees have not shrug off from duties and never ignored even a household that is declared as COVID positive, containment zones and Red zones. It is really agonizing that even though the COVID cases are on rise and need is to minimize the public movement , the government is implementing amnesty scheme for power consumers which leads to lot of rush of visitors to the Sub Divisional offices of PDD. The back to village programme being implemented in its third phase will also increase the public gatherings and lead to risking the lives of the employees of PDD as there is no Covid insurance cover for the employees in the present scenario. |
