The Electricity Engineers and Employees Privatisation Protest Committee has called off the indefinite strike against the move to privatise power in the Union Territory.
The Committee took the decision to temporarily withdraw the strike, following an assurance given by Chief Minister N. Rangasamy and Minister for Power A. Namassivayam that the government would take the employees’ concerns regarding privatisation with the Centre.
Mr Namassivayam said the government would assess the pros and cons of the move again and hold talks with the Centre.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
