PSPCL Outsourced Employees Strike Continues Amid Talks and Service Disruptions
Outsourced employees of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) continue an indefinite strike over demands for direct departmental contracts and job security after talks with PSPCL chairman Basant Garg failed. A delegation met Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria, who assured fair consideration of their concerns. The strike has disrupted consumer services at PSPCL offices in Ludhiana, affecting bill corrections, new connections, and complaint processing, though electricity supply remains largely unaffected. The federation awaits government notification to resolve the issue.
