Power plant strike called off
Workers of Barapukuria coal-fired power plant withdrew their indefinite strike yesterday after a fruitful meeting between the leaders of the workers union and the authorities concerned. The workers went on an indefinite strike on Sunday morning protesting suspension of Barapukuria Power Plant Workers Union President Nuruzzaman by the authorities of the plant on Saturday. Sources said Nuruzzaman entered the room of Chief Engineer Md Abu Taher on Saturday and locked in an altercation with him for not sending necessary papers relating to job confirmation of the workers to the Power Development board by April 7. At one stage, the chief engineer forced Nuruzzaman to leave the room and imposed restrictions on his activities inside the power plant for the next seven days.
