Do not differentiate between general and SC/ST categories over free power’-GCWF
Bahadurjeet Singh/Rupnagar
General Category Welfare Federation(GCWF) in its meeting held on Sunday at Fatehgarh Sahib welcomed the Punjab Government’s decision to provide free 300 units to the domestic consumers but criticises the differentiation made between the general category and SC/ST category over the payment to be made after bill crosses the threshold limit of 601 units in the bimonthly billing cycle.
The meeting of the General category Welfare Federation was presided over by Kuljeet Singh Rattore, President PSPCL unit and addressed by Gurdeep Singh tiwana, senior vice president, Davinder Singh and others.
Rattore said that the AAP government was voted by the people of Punjab without any caste and creed difference and now how do they justify the differentiation they have made between general category and SC/ST category consumers. The general category is supposed to pay for the full bill if it crosses the limit, whereas SC/ST consumers are to pay for only the bill above the limit.
The meeting also demanded that the reservation in promotion for creamy layer employees must be as per the supreme court decision of January 28.
The total number of SC/ST employees should be within the prescribed limit and the share posts of general category employees should not be given to them. Further, there should be an income limit for SC/ST employees as per the supreme court decision so that other poor employees could also get the benefit of the same.
