Members of the Andhra Pradesh Power Employees’ Joint Action Committee in Krishnapanam has decided to intensify agitation, coinciding with the two-day nation-wide strike from Monday, to put pressure on the YSR Congress Party government to drop the move of privatisation of the Sri Damodaram Sanjeeviah Thermal Power Station (SDSTPS).
JAC leader G. Srinivas said it was unfortunate that the government was hell-bent on handing over the operations and maintenance of the 1,600-MW plant, the first in the State to generate power using super critical technology, to private firms.
