The former employees of Jhimruk Hydro Power Project in Pyuthan, a district of the Midwest Nepal have warned to obstruct electricity generation if their demands are not met until January 30.

After the CPN-Maoist attacked and destroyed the Jhimruk Hydro Power Center operating under the Butwal Power Company in the assistances of Norwegian government in 2002, project management had fired two hundred 50 employees from the job.

The former employees have said that though the agreement was made to reinstate the fired employees in their respective posts after the project restarts, the management turned indifferent to the agreement and the voices of the fired employees.

Trade union leader Rudra Mani Acharya informed they would continue the protest until the project management pays heed to their demands of reinstating the fired employees, treatment for injured laborers, and insurances among other.

The protesting employees are also scheduled to stage sit-in in front of the project office on Jan 30.
