The two-day nationwide strike call given by various trade unions will not affect power services in Pune, said Sachin Talewar, chief engineer, MSEDCL (Pune Zone). “Due care has been taken to ensure supply to 32 lakh MSEDCL consumers and there is no reason to fear load shedding,” he added.
When contacted, Vijay Singhal, chairman and managing director, MSEDCL, told indianexpress.com that talks were underway with the unions to resolve the issue. “There have been some minor incidents like a generation plant being affected in Nashik but we are managing the show,” Singhal added.
