The Chief Minister felt that the outsourced employees, who have been working for several years for meagre salaries, should be regularised on humanitarian grounds and directed the officials to prepare guidelines to speed up the process.

In this context, the Chief Minister recalled that salaries of the employees working in Electricity Department were increased substantially in the past and salaries of the outsourced staff were also hiked. However, the State government was ready to settle all the issues of the electricity employees amicably at the table, he said.
