Major unions in the power sector will, on May 9, formally announce their decision to launch protests in Thiruvananthapuram against the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) move to adopt the TOTEX model for smart meter roll-out.
A decision was taken in this regard by the National Coordination Committee of Electricity Employees and Engineers (NCCOEEE) at a meeting here recently.
CITU State general secretary Elamaram Kareem, CPI State secretary Kanam Rajendran, and INTUC State president R. Chandrasekharan will attend the convention. The NCCOEEE is also planning to undertake public campaigns, including house visits, to raise awareness of the issue.
