Legal hurdles for regularising the services of outsourced personnel working in power utilities in Telangana as 'artisans' have been cleared with a petition challenging the proposed regularisation being struck down in the High Court Tuesday, the state government said.
The development paves the way for regularising the services of 23,000 'artisans' working in power utilities, including TS GENCO (Telangana State Power Generation Corporation) and TS TRANSCO (Telangana State Power Transmission Corporation),a release from Chief Minister's office said.
The state government had earlier proposed to regularise the services of 'artisans' who have been working for a long time on outsourcing basis, it said.
Accordingly, orders were issued for regularising the services of 23,000 'artisans' but the move was challenged in the high court.
Caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrsekhar Rao expressed happiness over the High Court striking down the petition, it added.
"CM instructed CMD (of TSGENCO and TSTRANSCO) Prabhakar Rao to regularise the services of artisans, recognise them as regular employees, decide on the pay scales for them and implement PRC (pay revision) to them also.
CM greeted the artisans whose services are to be regularised," the release added.
