‘Plant workers have been opposing this move for the last 281 days’
The Center for Indian Trade Unions (CITU) has demanded that the Andhra Pradesh government should drop the plan to privatize the Sri Damodaram Sanjeevaiya Thermal Power Plant (SDSTPS) in Nellore district.
Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, CITU State President Ch. Narasimha Rao and General Secretary MA Gafoor said that the employees of SDSTPS were opposing the privatization plan for the last 281 days, during which tenders were invited for handing over operation and maintenance (O&M) of thermal power plant to private companies. Huh.
Employees are upset with the way the government is proceeding to hand over the O&M of the power plant to the Adani Group, which has been approved by the cabinet in disregard to the sentiments of hundreds of farmers who have given their lands to the Adani Group. Was. project, he said.
CITU leaders said that the government should postpone the plan of privatization, lest the employees and employees intensify their agitation.
