West Zone Power Distribution Company employees stage demonstrations

A number of employees of West Zone Power Distribution Company Ltd (WZPDCL) stationed in 15 districts in the south-western region of the country have staged demonstrations as part of their ongoing strike over some demands, including making their jobs permanent.

The employees of WZPDCL’s Faridpur, Kushtia, Barishal and Patuakhali zones staged demonstrations at the Faridpur Zone office for the sixth day on Saturday.

They said, “Only 485 employees, instead of the required 4,000, are working to ensure power supply for 1.6 million consumers. But, we are not getting expected wages.”

The employees demanded steps against discrimination in their workplaces.
