Anpara staff proceed on 24-hour strike
Employees and engineers of Anpara A and B proceeded on a token 24-hour strike beginning from 10 pm on Monday.
Power employees and engineers also staged a demonstration at all plant sites and zonal field headquarters against privatisation of Anpara C and breaking open of the locks of a gate of the thermal plant at midnight on Sunday.
In Lucknow the employees, engineers and junior engineers gathered at Shakti Bhawan in response to a call for a 3 to 5 pm work boycott given by the Vidyut Karamchari Sanyukt Sangharsh Samiti, UP. The boycott will be observed on Tuesday also.
Addressing the gathering, Samiti office-bearers like Shailendra Dubey, Sandeep Pandey, Chandra Prakash Awasthi, Girish Pandey and others slammed the government for the manner in which the personnel of Lanco Kondapalli were given entry on Sunday night.
The speakers said gross irregularities had been committed in the entire privatisation exercise of Anpara C and desperate efforts were now on to hide the same. The breaking open of the lock with the help of police force and the handing over of the land to the private company was part of the same exercise.
They said the employees and engineers of the power sector were committed to increase the power generation in the state so that the gap between the demand and supply could be bridged. But by handing over Anpara C to the private sector, an unnecessary situation of a clash was being created which was not in the interest of the state.
The Samiti said efforts for the construction of this plant had been on for the last 11 years and even today the Power Finance Corporation was willing to give loan to the plant. The office-bearers stressed that if even now the plant was handed over to the public sector, it would be commissioned one year earlier compared to the time taken by the private party.
