PSPCL contract workers in Ludhiana plan a protest on January 20 following two fatal electrocutions of workers on duty within two days. The union highlights chronic neglect of safety, citing over 300 contract worker deaths and hundreds of permanent disabilities from electrocution since 2012. They claim these incidents could be prevented with proper safety protocols, protective gear, and training, particularly for workers deployed in high-risk conditions like storms and night outages.
