The KSEB Officers’ Association (KSEBOA) has decided to launch an indefinite strike on April 11 demanding that the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) management withdraw the ‘‘vindictive action’‘ taken against its leaders.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, State-level office-bearers of the association said it would stop cooperating with the management, but without inconveniencing the public or affecting the power supply requirements. An indefinite agitation would be staged outside Vydyuthi Bhavan, KSEB headquarters, at Pattom here.
B. Ashok, KSEB Chairman and Managing Director (CMD), had issued orders suspending M.G. Suresh Kumar, executive engineer and KSEBOA State president, on Wednesday. The action followed a protest held on April 5 against the suspension of another executive engineer, Jasmine Banu, a State office-bearer of the KSEBOA. The KSEB management had invoked dies non on April 5.
