GORAKHPUR: In a crucial breakthrough, the protest being staged by power corporation employees against management was called off on Saturday evening after a “positive dialogue between the employee’s union leader and government officials”.
Speaking on the development, Yashwant Singh, the joint secretary of the employee’s union, said, “The High Court order paved the way for positive dialogue and brought some flexibility in the attitude of officials.”
Following a two-hour-long meeting, the two parties reached some settlement and the strike was called off. The deadlock between employees and the management had led to some disruption in the electricity supply in various parts of the Gorakhpur and Basti divisions.
