The suspension of a woman officer of the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has sparked a fresh row in the State power utility with the KSEB Officers' Association (KSEBOA) calling a half-day protest on Tuesday and the management declaring that dies non would apply to staff who boycott work.
The KSEB management on Monday issued orders stating that dies non will be applicable on Tuesday. The order further warned the staff that boycotting work will be treated as breach of discipline and would attract disciplinary action. Department heads have also been directed to report the details of staff keeping away from work.
The KSEBOA strongly condemned the stand taken by KSEB chairman and managing director B. Ashok. The association said it would go ahead with a much stronger protest than earlier planned.
