The board has cancelled former KSEB chairman B Ashok’s disciplinary action.
KSEB Officers Association state president M G Suresh Kumar, general secretary B Harikumar, central executive member A Jasmine Banu and Manoj G are the ones reinstated at their domicile units through an order after four months, on Thursday.

Harikumar’s retirement is due in February 2023. His promotion which was withheld by the-then chairman was also approved and he was promoted as executive engineer. Jasmin Banu was first transferred to Seethathodu in Pathanamthitta.
