PSEB Engineers Association strongly opposes the failed model of reforms being suggested by PHD Chamber to Punjab government for the Power Sector of the State. Although Association is for introducing reforms in the power sector to provide reliable supply to consumers at affordable rates but are opposed to the borrowed concepts of unbundling and privatization being the panacea of all the ills of the power sector.
