TN MSME associations halt strike against high power tariff

Chennai, Apr 20 (KNN) Several MSME associations in Tamil Nadu will not be protesting on Thursday (April 20) against the high fixed electricity charges for MSMEs.

On Wednesday, the Tamil Nadu Small and Tiny Industries Association (TANSTIA) and Federation of Coimbatore Industrial Association (FOCIA) decided to put off the strike, reported The Hindu.

According to The Hindu, this decision may have been influenced by the discussion of few demands chaired by Minister for Rural Industries, Cottage Industries, Small Industries, Slum clearance board T. M. Anbarasan and Electricity Minister V. Senthilbalaji.

Both the Ministers discussed a few demands related to electricity charges with the State representatives of TANSIA and spoke to the concerned department secretaries.

Following this, TANSTIA and FOCIA announced that the demonstration scheduled for April 20 has been put off.  (KNN Bureau)
