NEW DELHI: Irked at the arrest of a senior functionary of the striking Oil Sector Officers Association under ESMA, the NTPC Executives' Federation of India on Wednesday threatened to join the stir from tomorrow.
"We are evaluating the action taken by the government and if such atrocities do not stop, we would go on strike from tomorrow," President NEFI Rakesh Pandey said.
A senior functionary of the striking Oil Sector Officers Association (OSOA), Narender Goyal, was arrested this morning by the Delhi Police under the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA).
Defying a Delhi High Court order, officers of 13 oil PSUs today went on an indefinite strike, which led to a shutdown of gas supplies from the country's largest fields and cutting of output at key refineries.
The Delhi government has invoked ESMA to deal with striking officials and truckers and has warned them of serious consequences if they continue their strike.
The NTPC Federation had already solicited its support to the striking oil PSU staff yesterday.
