Gwalior Electricity Contractual Employees Seek Regularisation, Warn Of Diwali Strike

Electricity contractual employees submitted a memorandum to Gwalior Collector Ruchika Chauhan, seeking regularisation and the resolution of their various pending demands. The memorandum was addressed to Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav.

The employees submitted the memorandum on Tuesday, 6 October, at the New Collectorate Building in Sirol Hill, City Center. They said their demands had remained pending for a long time and urged the administration to take time-bound action on the issues.

One of their main demands was that contractual employees working in the Electricity Department should be regularised at the earliest through a departmental examination. Along with regularisation, they also demanded that their other long-pending problems be resolved within the prescribed time limit.

The employees said they had been providing their services in the department for a long time. Despite this, their demand for regularisation and several other issues had not been resolved. Through the memorandum, they sought action from the government and the administration to address these problems within a fixed timeframe.

The employees also issued a warning regarding further action. They made it clear that if their problems were not resolved within the stipulated period, they would decide to go on strike before Diwali.

They said that if such a situation arose, the concerned department and the government and administration would be responsible for it. The warning was included in the memorandum submitted to the Collector.

A large number of electricity contractual employees were present when the memorandum was handed over. The employees expressed unity and said they would remain organised and continue their struggle for the resolution of their demands.
