Fri Dec 27 17:13:34 UTC 2024: ## DYFI Protests Retired Staff Appointments in Puducherry Electricity Department
**Puducherry, December 27, 2024** – The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) staged a demonstration today in Puducherry, protesting the government’s decision to appoint retired staff to fill vacancies in the Electricity Department. The protestors, gathered outside the department’s office, argued that this policy circumvents direct recruitment, denying employment opportunities to young people.
DYFI leaders, including unit president Kousigan, central committee member A. Anand, and secretary Sanjay Sekaran, participated in the demonstration. They voiced concerns about the privatization of the department and urged both the government to reconsider its policy and retired employees to decline post-retirement assignments. The protestors chanted slogans against the appointments and called for the vacancies to be filled through open recruitment.
