Jharkhand Electricity Strike

The striking employees of the Jharkhand State Electricity Board (JSEB) today called off their three-day old strike which had plunged the state in darkness after the Jharkhand High Court asked them to restore power immediately.

A major part of Jharkhand remained without electricity for more than 24 hours today after the state electricity board union went on strike to protest against handing over the power distribution, billing, maintenance and other related assignments to two private power utilities.
