Hospitals, airport, schools will not get power.<\/p>\n<p>Everything will come to a standstill.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can go on strike a week or ten days later.

She also said that ESMA would not apply to them as they were contractual employees.<\/p>\n<p>She alleged that the strike was called as they were not given any holidays or even minimum wages and also against the &#8220;hire and fire&#8221; policy of the discoms.<\/p>\n<p>(Source : PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contractual employees of power distribution companies BSES Rajdhani and BSES Yamuna today agreed to defer their proposed indefinite strike for the time being after Delhi High Court asked the two discoms to &#8220;hear them out&#8221;.
