Talks mediated by the Principal Secretary (Power) are likely to be held soon in a bid to settle the stand-off between the management and the pro-Left officers' association of the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB).
The Kerala High Court, in an April 26 order, had directed the State government, represented by the Principal Secretary (Power), to ''initiate conciliation talks'' between the board and the members of the KSEB Officers' Association (KSEBOA) and arrive at an amicable settlement.
On April 20, Electricity Minister K. Krishnankutty, following talks with organisations representing officers in the KSEB, had said that the management would take steps to settle the stand-off within a week.
