Lucknow:<\/strong> In an unprecedented situation, over 40 lakh Uttar Pradesh state employees will go on a seven-day strike from Wednesday demanding a rollback of the current pension scheme. Teachers, engineers, tehsildars and members of the transport department are expected to participate in the strike.<\/p>\n

The Uttar Pradesh government invoked the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) banning strikes in all departments and corporations under it for a period of six months. Chief Secretary Anup Chandra Pandey issued a notification to this effect on Monday night.<\/p>\n

The ESMA, as it is commonly known, gives the police right to arrest without a warrant anybody violating the Act’s provisions.<\/p>\n

After releasing an official release issue here, the government said strikes have been banned with immediate effect in any public service including corporations and local bodies.<\/p>\n

Under the ESSA (Essential Services Maintenance Act, 1968), employees in a long list of “essential services” like post and telegraph, railway, airport and port operations are prohibited from going on strike.<\/p>\n

The Act mainly mandates imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year, or fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both, to any person who always instigates a strike which is illegal under this Act<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
