A general body meeting of the Odisha Bijuli Karmachari Sangha, Brahmapurwas held here on Sunday under the chairmanship of its president Ali Patnaik wherein discussions were held on different issues in the power sector in the State. Members said that due to the Orissa Electricity Reform Act which was enacted in 1996,loses to the tune of crores of rupees are being incurred, which isnot only anti-people but also anti-employees. Mentioning that now the number of permanent employees in the power sector in the State is less than 10,000, which is very less compared to 1996, the members alleged that the Government is recruiting employees on contract and outsourcing basis. They alleged that the Government has failed to provide electricity to 90 lakh consumers. So, associations of contractual and outsourcing employees and engineers in the power sector havedecided to hold demonstration in front of the State Assembly from November 26.
