Dehradun:The suspension of the strike by the powerful employee unions of power corporations is a major victory of Secretary Power, Radhika Jha who adopted a tough stand of not bowing before the demands of the associations. This stand of hers was vindicated in the end when the employee unions decided to call for the truce.
In the meeting held on Friday, the agitating associations got nothing more than assurances on their major demands. The workers of power corporations were on work to rule strike from last many days and they were switching off their mobile phones after they had threatened to go on indefinite strike from January 5.
The State admin on its part had made an elaborate contingency plan in case of strike. The army and other agencies were contacted and doles were offered to contractual employees. All these efforts bore a positive result for the administration.
