PSPCL Complaint Handling Workers End Strike; Outsourced Staff Continue Protest
Complaint Handling Bike (CHB) workers at Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) ended their three-day strike after talks with management, resuming duties on Tuesday. The strike had disrupted fault repairs and electricity restoration in urban areas. However, outsourced employees at PSPCL's call centres, Suvidha Kendras, and other service wings continue their indefinite strike, demanding direct employment under PSPCL. Management assured that a formal notification for direct contracts would be issued soon, with phased offer letters to follow. Further discussions with government officials are scheduled.
