“The situation is going to change when the Managing Director of the TNGCL, Pralay Patra paid heed to the problems of the contractual workers. He is of the view that the salaries were earlier decided between the contractors’ and employees, which is unprecedented. After I took over as the MD of the organization had decided for transparency and bring them under structured system”, sources said.
