The Pay Revision of PSEB employees and officers has become the victim of the proxy war going on between concerned state authorities and the Board Management for the past sometime. The recommendations of the Wage Formulation Committee headed by Member/Distribution were put up before the Board for decision on September 18 but decision was deferred.
PSEB Engineers Association had met Chief Minister Punjab on October 2 and the proposal of the State bureaucracy to refer the issue to a committee of officers headed by Chief Secretary, Punjab was shelved after discussions and instead Chief Minister Punjab directed Principal Secretary/ Finance to sort out the issue within a week.
Subsequently Association held a meeting with Finance Secretary wherein all the recommendations of wage formulation committee were explained. Today’s Board meeting has been convened today to take the decision on the pay scales but again state bureaucracy sent a letter to Chairman and /Member Distribution asking them to attend the meeting convened by Chief Secretary, Punjab
Employees co-ordination committee said in a press note today evening that it is ironical that despite clear instructions of the Chief Minister, issues relating to pay scales of PSEB employees and officers are being unnecessarily delayed.
Co-ordination committee leaders. H.S.Bedi, Pal Singh Moga, Karam Chand Bhardwaj, Sukhdev Singh, B.S.Sekhon, Bhupinder Singh, Paramjit Singh Bedi, Harbhajan Singh, B.S.Saini, Brij Lal, V.K.Goyal, Devinder Singh, Faljit Singh and Vijay Kumar has decided to bear black badges and hold protest rallies on October14. Further to convey deep sense of resentment prevailing amongst the Employees & Officers due to non revision of their Pay Scales, it has been decided not to celebrate Diwali this year, under protest.

This is not fair on the part of bureaucrats. The new scales should be given to the PSEB employees immediately.
