Punjab Junior Engineer Suspended Over Comment on Chief Minister's Facebook Post
A junior engineer at Punjab State Power Corporation Limited, Davinder Singh, was suspended on September 11 following a derogatory comment posted on Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's Facebook post. Singh denies making the comment, suggesting his account was hacked. The suspension order, reportedly directed by the Chief Minister's Office, also required Singh to shift his headquarters to Bathinda. The engineers' union has expressed concern over the suspension, while the official order did not specify the exact reason for the action.
