Employees of the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) have called a 72-hour strike beginning Tuesday at midnight to protest the privatisation of the power distribution sector.
The power distribution company has assured its customers in Pune and the rest of Maharashtra that backup plans have been put in place to deal with any eventuality.
“In view of the strike called by employees, emergency systems have been set up to prevent any power cuts. “Various steps have been taken to ensure 24-hour power supply,” said MSEDCL in a statement.
