The UT Powermen Union went on a one-day strike against the privatisation of the power department and their long-pending demands on Tuesday.

It was further decided to proceed on an indefinite strike from February 21 in case the privatisation process was not halted.

Meanwhile, the Chandigarh administration on Monday warned of enforcing 'no work, no pay' rule will be applicable and disciplinary action will be taken against employees joining the strike.

The UT spokesperson said the employees are advised to attend duty.

The union is opposing the privatisation of the electricity department.
