Shoot em’ ups may look similar, but I can assure that no series does it quite like Raiden. The series took off in the early 90’s, but I never got into it until developer MOSS took over and brought Raiden III to the west. Typically, I like to play numbered series from the beginning, but I feel like Raiden’s story is pretty straightforward and allows for gamers to jump into Raiden V: Director’s Cut at any time.
Raiden V: Director’s Cut is the definitive version of Raiden V for the west and includes some new features not present in Japan exclusive Xbox One version. With a new hardware generation open for more shmups, MOSS has a lot to prove with this release, which hopefully paves the way for more titles in this genre to come west.
Raiden V: Director’s Cut begins with starting the campaign. This is where players will be able to choose their ship and weapon loadout. There are three different weapon slots available for each ship; players will equip one of three types in three different categories, blue, red, and purple. Each weapon has a different theme: blue is probably the most interesting with a wide range of laser type attacks, Red is different variations of the spread shot, and Purple is a homing laser.
It might sound cheap of me, but I felt most comfortable with the purple weapons. Homing lasers aren’t all that powerful, but it allowed me some time to breath when the action got heavy. With that said, there was only one weapon that I couldn’t quite get the hang of, which was in the blue category and it launched a crystal onto the field that the player can shoot to ricochet the beam of light in all directions, it just never worked for me.
Some of these weapons have been brought over from previous installments, and returning fans will feel comfortable jumping right in with their favorite loadouts. However, I liked trying the more interesting weapons and found them to add much variety to the levels.
During missions, it’s possible to level up your loadout up to level 9. This requires the players to pick up a weapon icon that appears after a specific enemy is destroyed. However, this symbol changes color periodically to signify the corresponding weapon, which can either turn your gun to a different category or level-up the weapon you’re using.
As I stated before, I stuck with the homing laser for most of the time spent with the game, not because it was the most powerful weapon, but because I was comfortable with it. This is probably the only issue that this system has as it doesn’t require the player to switch through their arsenal very often once they have a level 9 weapon that is wiping enemies out one by one.
I attempted not to let this affect a few of my playthroughs, but halfway in I found myself relying on one weapon and taking it to the boss. Additionally, players have access to bombs that will clear the screen of enemy bullets as well as inflict massive amounts of damage to enemy ships.
Raiden V: Director’s Cut has some pretty impressive features, while it lacks an actual online multiplayer mode, there is a neat “Cheer” system that allows players to help each other throughout the game’s campaign. As you play, the left terminal will display specific goals that other players have met in their games, by hitting the cheer button you’re able to provide them with a bonus to their Cheer gauge. In return, other players will be able to do the same for you.
Executing a Cheer Call allows the player to completely remove the enemy projectiles on screen. This ends up being extremely helpful in the later parts of the game. Also, it’s cool to see the users who cheered you on after the ending credits roll, a feature that I remember enjoying from Journey.
Raiden V: Director’s Cut’s difficulty can be chosen at the beginning of the game with Normal being a bit too easy for skilled bullet-hell players, but still offers some challenging moments. MOSS did attempt to make this game accessible seeing as they’ve replaced the in-game lives with a life bar. After taking damage, this life bar decreases based on the amount of damage received, depending on the defense of ship, the ship could potentially only sustain a few hits.
There’s no limit to how many continues you get, but your score does reset after a death. I saw the game over screen many times during the last few levels, but the more I played, the further I could get without dying — and I’ll take any progress made as a victory.
Raiden V: Director’s Cut’s campaign does some exciting camera work during a few of the level that I thought split the game up nicely. Along with the various stage environments, the camera would sometimes begin to pan vertically or even straight up as if you were on an elevator.
Additionally, there is a story that plays out during the game’s campaign, but there is far too much action going on to pay attention to what is happening. However, this audio is in English and does make a separate playthrough worth it just to try and figure out what’s going on. That being said, the game’s music is just epic and adds to the gameplay experience during each level.
Lastly, the game does have a few different endings that require S rank on levels as well as leveling up each of your weapons. Some of the endings are heartbreaking, but gaining the true ending will unlock a new boss that I can’t defeat without dying far too many times.
Raiden V: Director’s Cut is a great shoot ’em up game for fans of the genre and the Raiden series. The game plays it safe regarding adding new features and separate modes, but there is enough gameplay here to warrant playthroughs and hi-score attempts.
Raiden V: Director’s Cut offers a wide variety of weapons and difficulties that are sure to keep players busy for some time. I could have used a few additional modes, ships, and weapons, but what’s provided was enough for me to have a blast. Hopefully, the success of Raiden V: Director’s Cut opens the floodgates for the bullet hell genre on consoles in the west.

How we live our lives tells people what we believe far more convincingly than when we just talk about it. Our words gain authority when we are living what we say. And even when we don’t say anything, people learn what we believe by observing our actions.
The most powerful witness for the Kingdom of God is to live a life of love. Jesus bore witness unto the truth that God loves us, by living a life of love. He had compassion on people. He healed the sick. He fed the hungry. He spoke words of comfort and assurance and sound wisdom. His final, all-powerful, earth-shaking word was to say, “I love you,” by the fullness of His action when He laid down His life for us, dying on the cross for our sins, taking on the penalty for our iniquities. He was buried, and rose again the third day, defeating death for us, that through faith in Him, we are given eternal life. He showed us how much He loved us by His life and by His death and by His living again forever, that we might live forever with Him.
When we live out the truth of the gospel, we preach the gospel by living it. Our lives are a book for people to read the truth in.
Jesus said the most important of all the commandments is to love the LORD our God with all our heart, soul, and mind; and the second commandment is to love our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus said that these two commandments sum up all the law and the prophets. If we live a life of loving God and loving our neighbor, our lives will preach the gospel of love, the good news that God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. God speaks the truth by His actions, too.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God. John 3:16-21, NKJV
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. Ephesians 5:8-10, KJV
Prove to people what is acceptable to the Lord by doing it.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1-2 KJV
Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life… Philippians 2:14-16a KJV
Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. Deuteronomy 4:5-6 KJV
All those statutes and judgments are summed up in, “Love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.” Keep and do this, for it will show the truth to the nations.
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience… I Peter 3:15, 16a NIV

Need for sustainable agriculture practices
India’s food security programs provide affordable grain access to more than 800 million people
India's food security programs are among the largest in the world and cover more than 800 million people in the country by providing affordable access to grains. Thereby significant progress has been made in improving food and nutrition security. For instance, stunting among children less than 5 years has declined from 48 per cent to 38.4 per cent between 2005-06 and 2015-16. All these programs are being implemented so that vast swathes of people will not die of starvation. But will anyone agree to allow intensive farming within limited land and labour force using harmful chemicals to ensure food security and to jeopardise environmental sustainability (ES)?
We all will agree to produce crops that are perhaps drought resistant or can fix their own nitrogen or resist diseases and pests without use of pesticides and overall can ensure ES. Is it possible to adopt this agricultural practice where accelerated urbanisation and corresponding human activities are triggering tremendous land use changes and restricting availability of farm land?
In this piquant situation, there is emergent need to minimize the conflict between food security and ES based on critical appraisal of present unsustainable agricultural practice.
To prevent unsustainable agriculture practice, the National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA), in collaboration with other Missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change, is striving towards mitigating the impact of climate change and sustaining agricultural productivity. Under NMSA, more than 62 million soil health cards are being issued to farmers for providing crop-wise nutrient management recommendations and enabling them improve soil fertility as well as crop productivity by promoting organic farming. However, the major problems related to intensive farming based on synthetic chemicals such as pollution, desertiﬁcation and climate change are not properly addressed.
Numerous regulatory agencies all over the world have not clearly declared the possibility of environmental hazard due to use of these chemicals. Scientific truth behind this intensive farming has been manipulated simply to maximise the profit of agro-chemical producers globally at the expense of human health and environment.
Organic farming is presently emerging as an alternative agricultural system or integrated farming system prohibiting the use of synthetic pesticides, antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers and growth hormones.
In many countries including India, dedicated people are conserving and exchanging local traditional seeds to maintain a huge genetic pool. Traditional seeds for vegetables and cereals are also preserved, grown and sold throughout the respective country though not in large scale. The traditional agriculture by using indigenous seeds, judicious land management particularly agricultural diversiﬁcation practices (multi-cropping and crop rotations) can easily reduce the yield gap and enhance soil water retention.
Despite the benefits, several key challenges have slowed the growth of organic agriculture. One of the major impediments is that agro-chemical industry tries to convince the small farmers as observed in many villages that organic farming requires 'rocket' science and cannot be effective to ensure profit. Increasing public awareness about the value of organic farming and conducting research to explore the barriers and opportunities to organic farming are essential in overcoming the challenges.
Additional innovative agriculture practice is imperative to fill the gaps in the scientific understanding of the benefits of organic farming.

Sprint’s financial results for the second quarter of 2012 does not look so good. Even though the carrier added a net total of 442,000 postpaid subscribers and sold 1.5 million iPhones’s. That multi-billion dollar gamble on the iPhone seems to not as of yet paid off. Sprint lost $1.4 billion, on $7.3 billion in sales. Last year they only $847 million.
Churn (Customer Turnover)was at a low 1.69%. I guess that bit of good news was enough for Sprint raise its forecast for calendar 2012 to $4.6 billion from $4.5 billion. I for one love Sprint but know they are on a timer. It is only a matter of time before they get brought out or hit bankruptcy. At which point the last Unlimited data sanctuary will be lost forever.

Hale’s Ales Brewery & Pub
An original Pacific Northwest craft brewery in Seattle, Washington.
Founded on July 4, 1983, Hale’s Ales is the oldest independently owned brewery in the Pacific Northwest. Owner Mike Hale took his inspiration from travels in England and opened the small craft brewery in Colville, Washington with the help of family, friends, and Head Brewmaster, J. Kipling. Now, 30 years after opening its doors, Hale’s Ales remains true to its original philosophy with a commitment to brewing nothing but the best quality, hand-crafted Ales in the Northwest.
Mike Hale was born and raised in the Bay Area of Northern California, and grew up with a love of aviation and the outdoors. He dabbled in a number of careers, including aviation, forestry, horticulture and sales, before moving his family to Colville, Washington with the intent of retiring. Mike soon found that retirement was not in the cards.
In 1982, Mike went on a life-changing trip to England where he developed an interest in beer and experienced a small revelation while touring the country via bicycle. He tasted many English beers in the small villages across the country, and found that each were unique, brewed locally, and seemed nothing like the beers he had known back home. As his appreciation for English Ale deepened, Mike decided to return home to Colville, Washington and open his own version of a small English village brewery.
Mike took part in an apprenticeship program at Gale’s Ales Brewery in Horndean, England, and returned home with a plan to start his own brewery. On July 4, 1983, Hale’s Ales Brewery opened with the release of the brewery’s flagship Ale, Hale’s Pale Ale, and Mike’s dream had become a reality.
The brewery has since moved to a larger facility in the Fremont district of Seattle, and two brew pub locations have been built in Fremont and Silverdale. Mike’s wife Kathleen has also joined the enterprise as pub manager at the Fremont location. Together, they continue to be inspired by the age old English brewing method and celebrate 30 years of successful brewing in the Pacific Northwest.

Galerie Nathalie Obadia is delighted to present the first exhibition in Brussels by Seydou Keïta (c. 1921–2001), one of the great masters of 20th-century photography. This event was made possible by the support of the Contemporary African Art Collection (CAAC – The Pigozzi Collection, Geneva), which has the mission of spreading awareness of contemporary African art. This organisation is directed by collector Jean Pigozzi and the exhibition organiser André Magnin, the assistant to curator Jean-Hubert Martin in 1989 of the “Magicians of the Earth” exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, which revolutionised the world of contemporary art by opening it up for the first time to non-Western artists.
In 1991, Jean Pigozzi and André Magnin discovered the (uncredited) photographs of Seydou Keïta, who was then completely unknown outside sub-Saharan Africa, following their visit to the exhibition Africa Explores, 20th Century African Art at The Center for African Art in New York1. The two men headed the hunt to track down the author of the photographs. At Jean Pigozzi’s insistence, André Magnin headed for Mali, his first visit to the country. His driver took him to the house of Malick Sidibé (Soloba, Mali 1935 – Bamako, Mali 2016), the best-known photographer in Bamako at the time. When he saw the reproduction of the portraits Magnin had brought with him, Sidibé unhesitatingly exclaimed “That’s by Keïta! He’s still there, in Bamako-Coura, behind the main prison”.
Having retired in 1977, Seydou Keïta, who was born in 1921, was taken completely by surprise when he saw someone had travelled so far on account of the beauty of his images thirty years after he had shut his studio. His meeting with André Magnin, and then with Jean Pigozzi, would lead three years later (in 1994) to the photographer’s first solo exhibition, at the Fondation Cartier in Paris (France). Until that time Keïta had only seen his works in the form of the contact prints he made from the negatives. He later admitted, “You cannot imagine how moved I was the first time I saw the prints made from my large format negatives – flawless, clean, perfect. It was then that I understood that my work was really, really good. The people in the photos seemed so alive. It was almost as if they were standing in front of me in flesh and blood”.2
This remark by the artist demonstrates his ability “to see and capture individuality”, as Robert Storr points out. In his essay on Keïta, titled L’immortalité en un déclic 3, the art critic was alluding to the practice the photographer had laid down for himself from the very start of his career in 1948: a single shot for each of his individual or group portraits. This approach, which was partly the result of an attempt to curb costs (photographic paper was rare and expensive in Bamako in the 1950s), and partly of an innate sense of how to find the right pose and composition, quickly set Keïta apart from the other African photographers then practising in Mali.
Seydou Keïta explained the reason for his success with his clientele. According to him, “technically, photography is simple, but what made the difference was that I knew how to find the right position, I never got it wrong. The face just turned away, the gaze being really important, the placing and position of the hands…. I could make anyone look better. In the end, the photos came out really well. That’s why I say that it’s art” 4. Keïta explained that he always had to find new ideas to please knowledgeable clients as, at that time, having yourself photographed was still an important event in Mali, as in all of West Africa. Thanks to “innovations he introduced on the level of accessories, poses and materials, Keïta anticipated the wishes of his clients and allowed them to become what they wanted to be in front of a camera” 5. The idea of being able to move above one’s social status through a photographic portrait was then very powerful. Keïta was one of the first to give expression to this aspiration by offering the use of accessories. For his photographs, clients could dress up from head to toe, make themselves elegant or dress in European style, something that really struck a chord with many men in Bamako. Women, on the other hand, though always stylish, more often stuck to their traditional sartorial styles. Were they perhaps demonstrating that they were
guardians of African traditions in the urban communities of Mali, even as great changes were taking place? 6
In his studio, Seydou Keïta kept a whole range of objects that symbolised modern life: watches, pens, telephones, alarm clocks and other treasures that, when associated with the women’s make-up, were outward signs of prosperity, beauty or elegance. Some of his clients posed on a bicycle, a scooter or near a car – including those belonging to Keïta, which he had been able to buy from the proceeds of his studio – or with cars that were normally the prerogative of the Whites but which, for the time of a pose, allowed Africans to enjoy their privileges.
Music was another important “accessory” in Keïta’s photographs. It became blended into the portraits in the form of a radio set. The young clients who chose this symbol of the modern West were demonstrating to their entourage that they were informed about the latest events and musical trends.
Rhythm was made visible in another and unexpected manner with the use of patterned materials that bring life and vitality to the surface of the images. Seydou Keïta’s great innovation was to use rolls of material that he bought in Bamako, which he hung in front of the adobe wall in the courtyard of his studio. From 1948 to 1954 his fringed bedcover provided him with his first background. Later he used several fabrics, which he chose for the graphic power of their patterns and which he kept for between two and four years. It was these backgrounds that later allowed him to date his photographs. One of the best examples of this admirable use of fabrics is exhibited at the Galerie Nathalie Obadia in Brussels, in which two women seem to float in a “sea of geometric motifs”. According to Dan Leers, “this accumulation achieves two objectives: regarding the composition, it creates a dynamic that keeps the eye of the viewer in movement within the field of the image; regarding artistry, it adapts an already old European tradition to the reality of Mali” 7.
Although there are precedents of Keïta’s technique in photography, there are some too in painting, for example, the Nabis. Vuillard in particular employed the superposition and blending of motifs and patterns in his paintings. However, it should be mentioned that any claim that Keïta’s compositions or poses were borrowed from paintings, such as that of the odalisque, are all without foundation as Seydou Keïta has always stated that he never owned any book, or saw any photograph that could have influenced his art. The only external factors that contributed to his work were technical. The fact remains that his work is recognised as part of the history of photography in Mali and West Africa, where a wave of African studio photographers appeared at the end of World War II and lasted until the 1960s.
Seydou Keïta’s legacy is immense and it continues to influence contemporary photography in Africa and elsewhere. His emulators include, among others, the American Mickalene Thomas (b. 1971, lives and works in New York), the Nigerian Njideka Akunyili Crosby (b. 1983, lives and works in Los Angeles), and the Senegalese Omar Victor Diop (b. in Dakar in 1980, lives and works in Paris). Like Keïta, they have adopted the inclusion of accessories and the superposition of motifs which are, in the words of Dan Leers, “the projection of an inner force”. Continuing in the line of their elder, they in turn ask us “to look afresh at the importance of African culture” 8.
Born in Bamako circa 1921, Seydou Keïta died in Paris in 2001.
Seydou Keïta was born in 1921 in Bamako, the capital of Mali, which was then known as French Sudan. As he received no schooling, from the age of seven he became an apprentice joiner under his father and uncle. The latter offered him his first camera, a small Kodak Brownie. By 1939 Seydou Keïta was already earning a living for himself as a self-taught photographer and in 1948 he opened his first studio in Bamako. He specialised in commission portraiture, of individuals and groups, which he took for the most part using a large format camera, in black and white, and with a preference for natural lighting.
As a result of his ability to flatter his subjects, his masterful framing and use of light, and the modernity and inventiveness of his settings, Seydou Keïta very rapidly became known in Mali and many other West African countries. In 1962, two years before the Republic of Sudan gained its independence, and at the demand of the authorities, he closed his studio to become the government’s official photographer until he retired in 1977.
His private work, which thus covers a fairly short period (1948-1960), offers an unmatched account of the changes taking place in Malian urban society, which shrugged off its traditional values and aspired to a certain modernity during the process of decolonisation and approach of independence.
From 1991, the year he met André Magnin and Jean Pigozzi, who both contributed to the international recognition of contemporary African art, the photographs of Seydou Keïta have been seen right around the world. In 1994 the Fondation Cartier (Paris, France) was the first Western institution to give Keïta a solo exhibition. Since then a great many such shows have been dedicated to his work in leading international venues. For example, his first solo exhibition in the United States, in 1996, Seydou Keïta, Photographer: Portraits from Bamako, was held at the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., and In/Sight: African Photographers, 1940 to the Present at the Guggenheim Museum in New York (USA); in 1995, Big City Artists from Africa was held at the Serpentine Gallery in London (UK).
When Seydou Keïta died in Paris in 2001 he enjoyed unparalleled success for a 20th-century artist from Africa. And his images have continued to receive international attention since the exhibition directed by Michelle Lamuniere, You Look Beautiful Like That: The Portrait Photographs of Seydou Keïta and Malick Sidibé, which was presented between 2001 and 2003 in the USA at the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University Art Museums in Cambridge (Mass.), at the UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles (Cal.), at Museum of Art in Miami (Flo.), and at the Williams College Museum of Art in Williamstown (Mass.), following which it moved to the National Portrait Gallery in London (UK). Important exhibitions of contemporary African art have also paid tribute to this Malian photographer since the early 2000s, with African Art Now at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston (USA) in 2005; 100% Africa at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao (Spain) in 2006; and Why Africa? at the Giovanni e Marella Agnelli Pinacoteca in Turin (Italy) in 2007.
In 2008, Tate Modern in London gave Keïta his first solo exhibition in the UK. In 2016 two noteworthy exhibitions have presented Seydou Keïta’s work: In and Out of the Studio: Photographic Portraits from West Africa at the Metropolitan Museum in New York (USA); and Après Eden at the Maison Rouge in Paris (France), the latter of which presented the remarkable collection of the German Artur Walther. The same year, the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais in Paris gave Seydou Keïta his first retrospective in France.
The works of Seydou Keïta are held in important international public collections, in the United States by the Eileen Harris and Peter Norton Collection (Santa Monica), the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art), the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Bronx Museum of Art in New York, the LACMA (Los Angeles County Art Museum), the Detroit Institute of Arts Museum (Detroit), the Philadelphia Museum of Art (Philadelphia), the State Art Collection (Washington, D.C.), the Akron Art Museum (Akron), the Fogg Art Museum – The Harvard University Art Museums (Cambridge), the Princeton University Art Museum (Princeton), the University of Chicago (Chicago), the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art – University of Florida (Gainesville), the Michael C. Carlos Museum – Emory University (Atlanta), the Saint Louis Museum of Art and the 21C Museum in Louisville, the William Benton Museum of Art – University of Connecticut (Storrs); in France, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Fonds National d’Art Contemporain, and the Collection Agnès B. in Paris; in Germany, The Walther Collection (Neu-Ulm); in Sweden, the Moderna Museet (Stockholm), in Ireland, the Douglas Hyde Gallery (Dublin); in Switzerland, the Collection nationale du Crédit Suisse and the Contemporary African Art Collection – The Pigozzi Collection (Geneva); in Africa, the Musée National du Mali in Bamako.

It’s not possible to embed the films on the ITNsource site, but I have taken some screenshots. This is a 73 minutes of unedited footage of anti poll tax protests outside English Town Halls in March 1990.
The last half an hour is all from the Hackney protest. It includes the police setting up as well as a lot of pushing, shoving and chanting during the protest itself. There are arrests and de-arrests. Paddy Ashdown is called a wanker during an interview – and a more reasonable protestor remonstrates with him about police violence.
There are also shots of the much missed Samuel Pepys pub and the Narrow Way etc as you haven’t seen them for some time…
It’s not brilliant quality but it is still an amazing thing to see.

The workers said the government has violated agreements both parties reached.
Electricity workers who were sacked after the privatisation of some PHCN subsidiaries, on Monday staged a rally to protest the non-payment of their entitlements at the Jos distribution office.
The former employees stormed the zonal office of the former PHCN, in the morning; demanding payment of their entitlement. Some serving workers also joined the protest. They said they had not been paid their salaries since the new management, Aura Energy Limited, took over management of the company from PHCN.
The protesters, about 100 of them, in a three page text, said the agreements they reached with the government have all been violated.
“Over ten thousand workers in the power sector have not been paid a dime as their severance entitlement. Over 25, 000 workers have not received their pension components. Over 5,000 workers who retired statutorily are yet to be paid their gratuity. Over 50 percent the electricity workers have been wrongly and illegally disengaged. About 3,000 verified casual staff have been verbally sent out of the industry without remuneration,” they said.
The protesters said the benefits of over 1,000 people who died in active service have not been paid to their families. They lamented that the pension deduction of about 48,000 workers from July 2012 till date has not been effected.
They appealed to the minister of power to help resolve the matter, which they described as “trade union right abuse.”
Officials of Aura Energy Limited were not seat when PREMIUM TIMES visited.
The Bureau for Public Enterprises, BPE, has repeatedly maintained that it has settled the gratuity and pensions of most of the sacked electricity workers nationwide with its latest figure announced on Monday as 43,375 workers settled.
