Warning the striking power staff, Puducherry home minister A Namassivayam, who holds the electricity portfolio, said on Sunday that severe action will be taken against those who caused electricity outages in the union territory.
“The electricity staff who are responsible for causing hardship and trouble to the public will face stringent action,” Namassivayam said. “Our government will not be a mute spectator to this.”
Puducherry plunged into darkness on Saturday evening as the indefinite strike by electricity workers entered its fourth day against the NDA government’s plans to privatise power distribution operations.
