Around 600 employees of the bankrupt Spanco Nagpur Discom Ltd were left in the dark on Diwali after the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL) failed to pay their salary dues, despite its commitment that their dues will be cleared within a month.
The SNDL employees on Wednesday protested in the office of SNDL for the salary and dues. Out of 600 employees, around 150 were on rolls including Department heads and Sub-Heads and 450 others. After the MSEDCL took over the operations, Energy Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, MSEDCL’s MD Operations Dinesh Saboo and others had made a statement in the press conference that that salaries would be paid on time to the employees and they would be absorbed in Class III category on contract.

A SNDL employee said that its become difficult to live in the Metro City without salaries. “I am unable to the pay fees of my school going children and we not finding any future of our family as MSEDCL have not yet absorbed us,” he said. He further said that the worst part is that neither SNDL nor MSEDCL is ready to give anything in writing such as what would be the final amount payable, what benefits are being given on separation. When the employees met SNDL Business Head Sonal Khurana, he denied any information about salaries and said that MSEDCL is "sitting over it".
