6,500 Contractual Power Workers in MP to Protest Over Regularisation Exam Delay

Around 6,500 contractual power employees across Madhya Pradesh have said they will stage a protest if the state government does not release the notification for the regularisation examination. The workers, who are employed on contract basis in the power sector, have been awaiting a clear pathway to become permanent staff.
The group has warned that failure to announce the exam could trigger wider agitation, potentially affecting power services in the state. They intend to submit a formal demand to the electricity department and seek intervention from senior officials.
Authorities have not yet responded publicly to the workers' demands, and the situation remains under close observation as the deadline for the exam notification approaches.
