- Transco strike issue impacts power sector operations
The Transco has issued a strict warning to artisans currently on strike, directing them to return to work within 24 hours or face permanent removal from service.
More than 19 thousand artisans from power sector organizations including Transco Genco and electricity distribution companies have been on strike since earlier this month, demanding resolution of their issues. The ongoing protest has raised concerns over disruptions in essential services.
Officials stated that the strike violates existing government orders that prohibit employees in the power sector from participating in any form of protest for a specified period. These restrictions were put in place to ensure uninterrupted power supply and maintain critical infrastructure.
Earlier, similar directives were issued by Genco under emergency provisions, urging employees to withdraw from the strike. The latest orders from Transco reinforce the government stance on maintaining discipline in the sector.
Authorities have made it clear that failure to comply with the directive by the given deadline will result in strict action, including termination. The warning signals a firm approach by the administration in dealing with the ongoing agitation.
Meanwhile, employees continue to press for their demands, highlighting workplace concerns and seeking intervention from the government. The situation remains tense as both sides hold their ground.
The development has drawn attention to the balance between employee rights and the need to ensure uninterrupted public services, especially in critical sectors like electricity.
