LUCKNOW Chances of UP Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) revoking the action taken against power employees and their leaders during the recent 72-hour strike have diminished significantly after the Allahabad high court’s severe observations on Monday.
Energy minister AK Sharma on Tuesday gave ample indications of initiating fresh penal action against the striking employees once the court announces its order, retaining the tough observation it made.
“We will act as per the court’s order when it comes,” he said when asked by a section of media. The minister said officials and employees’ leaders harassing employees/contractors who did not join the strike would be identified. “Stern action will be taken against such people,” he warned.
