The indefinite strike by employees of Neyveli Lignite Corporation against the Centre's move to
divest 5 per cent of its stake in the PSU entered the eighth day on Wednesday.
About 30,000 workers, including 13,000 contract employees, have struck work demanding the Centre withdraw its decision to sell the stake as
part of disinvestment process.
However, about 7,000 engineers and officers of the PSU, and the thermal power station attached to it, are not participating in the strike.
A release from Neyveli Lignite said the power generation from the three thermal units had not been affected and a total of 2,330 MW was being produced against the capacity of 2,490 MW.
