PSPCL to recruit retired technical staff to meet shortage of staff
Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, July 24, 2024: Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has decided to recruit retired technical staff to meet the manpower shortages and to maintain an uninterrupted power supply to consumers during this paddy season.
Chief Engineer Central Zone on Tuesday has written to the superintending engineers to send the names of retired technical staff along with their consent within one day. Their age is on the 31st. December 2024 should be less than 62 years.
The letter mentions that in this summer and paddy season, the PSPCL is facing difficulties in attending to consumer complaints and this leads to tarnishing the image of the corporation.
It may be mentioned that different employee associations have been highlighting the technical staff shortage in all the subdivisions and demanding the filling of vacant technical posts so that consumers' grievances could be addressed in a schedule.
PSPCL is opting for giving re-employment to retirees instead of offering regular jobs to youth.
