The Odisha government has invoked the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) in the power sector for a period of six months. This prohibits strikes or work stoppages by employees in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution companies, including GRIDCO, OPTCL, OHPC, OPGC, and Tata Power distribution units. The measure aim to ensure uninterrupted power supply during the peak summer season when electricity demand is high. https://odishasambad.in/odisha-invokes-esma-to-ban-power-sector-strikes-for-six-months/ #creator program
