After negotiations with the government, workers in the power department terminate their strike

Uttar Pradesh power department workers on Sunday terminated their 72-hour protest following numerous rounds of discussions between their leaders and state energy minister A K Sharma.

At about 3 p.m. on Sunday, the striking workers who had begun their action at 10 p.m. on March 16 called it off.

Shailendra Dubey, convener of Vidyut Karmacharis Sanyukt Sangharsh Samiti, announced the strike's termination by saying, "Many rounds of discussions were conducted" (with the government). The energy minister enthusiastically promised to address our issues after hearing about them.

We have chosen to end our 72-hour symbolic protest one day in early due to intense public interest, while also honouring the Chief Minister's (Yogi Adityanath) instructions, the productive engagement with the minister of energy, and the high court. "I congratulate the personnel of the power department for calling off their protest," UP Energy Minister Sharma said in a statement to media after the meeting. I would ask them to tell their coworkers to go back to work, particularly in areas where the power supply was cut off, whether it be a feeder or a sub-station. Sharma said that the samiti had many rounds of discussions.

"Some of the discussion topics were recorded. We'll discuss things and attempt to bring them to a logical conclusion, the minister promised.
