Haryana Power Employees Plan Strike Amid Government Appeals for Negotiations

The Haryana government, led by Energy Minister Anil Vij, has urged employees to call off the strike and continue negotiations, emphasizing the potential disruption to essential services and stating that key issues are under regulatory review. Unions remain firm on their demands despite government appeals.
