Maharashtra power utility staff stir disrupts supply
In protest against the Maharashtra government’s plans to privatise an electricity utility, employees of the three Maharashtra state electricity firms, led by Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company, went on strike on Wednesday and in part again on Thursday.
The strike was in response to an Adani Group company applying for regulatory approval for a parallel distribution license in the Navi Mumbai region. The three-day strike was withdrawn on Wednesday midnight after a day’s strike, following an assurance from the Maharashtra government about not privatising the utilities.
