Govt, PSPCL employees head for face-off over sale of land

"All is well... there is no clash with staff of the state power companies," declared Power Minister Sanjeev Arora here on Thursday morning, even as employees of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) issued a notice for launching an agitation against the attempts to sell PSPCL land and “political interference”.The two sides have been on a “warpath” ever since the AAP government dug out the decade-old Optimum Utilisation of Vacant Government Land (OUVGL) Scheme to monetise the lands owned by the power utility in different parts of the state. The government plans to dispose of 91 acres of Powercom land in Bathinda and another 90-acre land parcel in Patiala, under the OUVGL scheme.Though, initially, there was a plan to dispose of another chunk of prime property of the PSPCL in Ludhian
