Lucknow, Oct 6(UNI) Indefinite strike by the power engineers and employees opposing privatization of the power sector in Uttar Pradesh entered the second day on Tuesday with several places witnessing blackouts.
The state ministers, including the Power Minister Srikant Sharma himself, had to face the blackout for around 90 minutes on Monday evening.
However, late on Monday night, there was a report that the Minister had accepted that government will not go forward with the privatisation move of the Poorwanchal power distribution company. But later, the government backtracked leading to failure of the talks with the agitating employees.
