Demand to award power projects to BHEL by Central and State governments
The CITU union meeting in Trichy urged the government to directly allocate power projects to BHEL and stop the privatization of power sector units.
The annual general meeting of the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) Workers' Union (CITU) was held in Trichy yesterday. The meeting was presided over by union president S. Sridhar, with All India Secretary R. Karumalaian delivering the keynote address.
A resolution was passed demanding that the Central and State governments award power projects directly to BHEL without competitive bidding. The union also urged the authorities to stop selling state-run power units to private entities, demanded the recruitment of new permanent employees, and insisted on the payment of the government-mandated minimum wage to contract workers.
