NAMCHI, May 02: Muster Roll workers of the Power Supply Department in South district finally broke their patience after a prolong demand for regular service against the government and concerned department.
A recent press release of Muster Roll workers of the Power Department requested the state government to provide regular jobs against the fact that they are working as Muster Roll workers for the last 10 years and more.
Opining the same as inefficiency of the department, the workers’ release pointed that they are taking extreme risks working with high-tension electric wires to provide good service to the public on which some of the workers also died of accident in working hours, yet no response from the government & concern department ever reached the MR work force.
Further the note adds, “We are not happy with such activities of department. So we request regularization of our jobs because we are in the field to work and deprived of all the facilities of government”. The release pointed upper officials only giving orders but rarely come down to field to work. Some MR workers of the department who died of fatal accidents on works or acquiring physical handicaps as against accidents got not compensations, the release adds, thereby seeking to attract the government’s attention
