A WhatsApp message in circulation states that a power outage will take place with effect from midnight due to strike action launched by CEB employees.
However when contacted co-convener of the CEB workers union Ranjan Jayalal said that news about a power outage after midnight is false.
He further said that trade union action will be launched without inconveniencing the public.
As such the WhatsApp message about a power outage after 12 midnight due to the CEB workers’ strike is false.
