Massive reshuffling in DISCOs to affect energy sector badly

ISLAMABAD: Engineers’ bodies has indicated that transfers and postings at large scale in DISCOs would have a bad effect on energy sector as such proposal might further increase energy crisis across the country.

Addressing IESCO’s staffers here, National Engineers Patron in chief, Engr Syed Abdul Qadir Shah and IEEEP President Dr Rana A Jabbar said they held a meeting with federal energy secretary Rizwan Memon into the matter and he had assured them not to take such an initiative which could be a bone of contention between DISCOs management and staffers.

After meeting with the secretary energy, they said they were quite satisfied and hopeful that no reshuffling of SDOs and XENs would be observed massively in DISCOs countrywide.

Engr Abdul Qadir said the news of transfers and postings at large scale in DISCOs had created unrest in engineers’ routine life.

He said SDOs and XENs were quite familiar with consumers’ issues of their duty-stations and they were trying their best to settle down them accordingly.

He further explained that engineers were technical hand of the society and it had nothing to do with ongoing politics in the country.
