DPC employees to stage dharna on June 5Power workers and engineers across the country will hold a mass demonstration on June 5 against the controversial US multinational Enron-sponsored Dabhol Power Company, outside its gates, at Guhaghar in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. Communist party of India general secretary A B Bardhan on Friday told a news conference in Bombay that more than 10,000 power sector employees including that of Dabhol Power Company are expected to converge in the coastal district and stage a mass demonstration and dharna to protest against the US multinational. The demonstration will demand setting up of a 'committee of inquiry' to punish the offenders, scrap the deal and power purchase agreements of the project. ''June 5 dharna will be followed by other forms of protests," he warned and said he will appeal to all central trade unions and independent unions to observe an 'Enron - quit India' day all over the country at a later date. The issue needs to be settled so that the interests of the employees and consumers are not harmed, Bardhan, who is the president of all India Federation of Electricity Employees as well as the Maharashtra State Electricity Board workers' federation told the news conference. ''It has become a battle between Maharashtra government, MSEB and Enron -- and the employees of the company as well as the consumers have become the aggrieved party due to the controversy," he said.
