The indefinite fast by All Assam Casual Workers in Power sector has crossed 168 hours or 7 days and yet no concrete response from the authorities. Additional DC of Dibrugarh, Ranjeet Konwar met the protesting employees but a resolution of all the demands of the employees remained elusive. The employees working with the Namrup Thermal Power plant are demanding increase in pay, benefits under PF and ESIC among others. Members of Assam Power Workers Union too have joined the stir. With more and more employees joining the stir, it remains to be seen what steps the administration and the power plant authorities take.
