The worst-ever electricity crisis in the history of Chandigarh came to an end Wednesday evening as the UT Powermen Union called off their 72-hour strike, just over 40 hours after it began, after reaching a consensus with the UT administration, which had Tuesday invoked the Essential Services Maintenance Act and booked several protesters.
The decision to call off the strike, that was to end Thursday midnight, was taken after a meeting between the representatives of the Powermen Union and senior officials of the administration.
