Srinagar 21 December (KNB): After the J&K administration gave assurance to the four point demands put forth by the All Jammu and Kashmir Power Employees and Engineers Coordination Committee (JKPEECC), the protesting employees of PDD called off their strike.
The strike from the J&K PDD employees against the merger of the department into the Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCI) and others resulted in the massive power outage in J&K, prompting the administration to break the ice by agreeing to the demands of protesting employees.
The demands of the protesting employees were given written assurance by the Div Com Dr Raghav Langer, MD JKPDCL Anant Tayal, and other three officials.
However, the merger of JKPDD with the Power Grid Corporation of India has also been put on hold by the administration.
Following the assurances to the demands of the protesting employees, the PDD workers have started to help in the restoration of power to the affected areas by repairing the faults and other snags in power lines. (KNB)
