Uttar Pradesh Energy Minister AK Sharma claimed that despite the strike by the power employees, power supply, power generation and transmission was normal across the state.
He said that barring sporadic incidents of sabotage by the power employees in eastern UP to disrupt the power supply, the situation was normal and under control in the state.
“It’s a challenging time for us. I appeal to the people and the people’s representatives to cooperate and give protection to the loyal employees reporting on duty. The people should show restraint and bear with us,” the minister said in a press conference here on Friday.
