Coal workers’ strike called off

The calling off of the strike midway will bring relief to the power sector that has faced prospect of fuel supplies
drying up due to closure of half of the country’s coal mines during the strike.

Mahato, however, did not share the details of the terms and conditions of the agreement reached between the government and the unions.

Indian National Mineworkers’ Federation (INTUC) President Rajendra Singh also confirmed that the strike has been called off and an agreement with the government is being signed.
