Summary:
Workers of power companies in Rajasthan will go on an indefinite strike from Tuesday to press for their various demands, including higher pay scale. The general secretary of the federation of Rajasthan state electricity workers, Amar Singh Sankhla, alleged that the state Energy Minister Pushpendra Singh had agreed upon the 21-point charter of demands in principle, but no progress ever happened. Sankhla declared that a ‘mahapadav’ (mega dharna) would be held here, where workers from all over the state would participate. Therefore, we are forced to go on an indefinite strike from July 24,” Sankhla said. “Electricity-related works will be affected and people will suffer due to the strike,” he added..
