More than three hundred employees of State Electricity Department under the banner of Manipur Electricity Employees Union (MEEU) today staged a sit-in demonstration in front of their office at Keishampat opting against corporatization of Electricity Department and demanding to regularize the posts of work-charge, muster roll employees and in-charge officers of Class I and II .
The protest started at 10:30 am and went on till 4 pm in the afternoon.

Talking to media persons on the sidelines of the protest demonstration, Working President of the Union Y.Ranapratap said that if the Department becomes corporatized, then, instead of charging Rs 2.40 per unit, the company which gets hold of the department and would collect whatever taxes they wish to.
This will not only make the employees suffer but the poor and common people would also be affected.
Ranapratap made it clear that if the Government does not give any positive response to their demands, then many other forms of intense democratic agitations would be launched.
