To lessen possible demonstrations and disturbances associated with the privatization of state-owned electrical businesses, the federal government has put the Compulsory Service Act into effect.
This most recent action affects all organizations operating in the power industry, such as DISCOs, NTDC, and JUNCOS.
Sources claim that the Compulsory Service Act forbids strikes and protests by workers of these power sector organizations for a six-month duration.
Additionally, during this time, unions affiliated with DISCOs, NTDC, and JUNCOS are prohibited from operating by law.
The objective of the decision is to preserve the electrical sector’s operational stability while the privatization process continues. The Compulsory Service Act will be strictly enforced against anyone who violate it.
