Suspension row: KSEB to follow official procedure

Even as the KSEB Officers' Association (KSEBOA) threatened an indefinite protest from Monday against the suspension of its leaders, B. Ashok, chairman and managing director, KSEB, has indicated that official procedures will be followed in the matter.

''We have suspended two union leaders over clear departures. We have issued a memo of charges and they are required to file their written statement of defence. If that is found satisfactory, the case can be closed. They have 15 days to do it,'' Mr. Ashok said here on Friday.

Following a half-day protest on April 5 against the suspension of a woman officer, the KSEB management had slapped suspension orders on KSEBOA State president M.G. Suresh Kumar and general secretary B. Harikumar, sparking an outcry.
