Nearly 500 MSME industrialists and workers on Friday held a day-long hunger strike here demanding the fixed charges and peak hour charges for LT Industries in Tamil Nadu be revoked with immediate effect.
The industry owners, under the banner of Federation of Coimbatore Industrial Association (FOCIA), representing 18 smaller associations, downed their shutters to squat and fast, as they wanted to draw the attention of the government against the increase in electricity charges to the industries, which have suffered massively owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
