PSPCL Employees Stage Strikes and Protests Over Pending Pay and Pension Demands
Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) employees, including regular and outsourced staff, have initiated strikes and mass leave protests across the state to demand implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission, payment of pending dearness allowance, restoration of the old pension scheme, and other benefits. The protests have disrupted routine services, though power supply has been maintained. Union leaders criticized the Punjab government and PSPCL management for delays and inadequate responses, while the Power Minister's brief online meeting with unions drew disappointment.
