SHILLONG, Oct 17: The contractual employees of the Meghalaya Energy Corporation Limited (MeECL) under the umbrella of the Meghalaya Progressive Workers Union (MePWU) on Monday issued a three-week deadline to the Corporation and the state government to regularise their services.
The MePWU had earlier threatened to take out a protest march to the Main Secretariat on October 18.
“We have set a fresh deadline of three weeks for the state government to regularise our services. We also want the state government to come up with a policy to regularise the services of those contractual employees who have completed more than ten years of service,” MePWU president Mantiphrang Lyngdoh Kiri told reporters after their meeting with newly-appointed MeECL Chairman-cum-Managing Director Sanjay Goyal.
The CMD had invited the MePWU for a discussion on their demands which include regularisation and release of the arrears.
Kiri also warned that the contractual employees will resort to mass casual leaves and march to the Secretariat if the government fails to come up with a policy to regularise their services by November 10 besides attending to their other demands.
