Ceylon Electricity Board Employees' Union Convener Ranjan Jayalal said the Chairman had neglected to pay the salary increment to employees despite it being a directive of the Minister of Power and Renewable Energy Minister Ranjith Siyabalapitiya.
Mr. Jayalal said the increment was held back by Ministry Secretary Dr. Suren Batagoda following a request made by the CEB Engineers unions, due to a long standing dispute.
CEB employees surrounded the head office protesting the Chairman’s move. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)
