Ludhiana: Seeking pay hike, PSPCL staff committee boycotts work

The Powercom and Transco Coordination Committee announced a complete work boycott from 12 noon on July 26, 2026, in Ludhiana.

PSPCL staff members refused to carry out fault rectification, maintenance work, and power breakdown complaints.

Demands include implementation of the ₹35,400 pay scale, release of pending 18% dearness allowance, restoration of the Old Pension Scheme, and filling of vacant technical posts.

The committee said the state government failed to offer a satisfactory solution, leading to intensified agitation.
