Punjab Power Employees Extend Strike to August 15 Over Delayed Circular
Workers who provide electricity in Punjab are on strike because they want the government to do what they promised.
The workers say the government agreed to 25 things, but hasn't made it official.
They started striking on August 11th and will continue until August 15th.
The workers are upset because they feel the government is not following through with its promises.
They plan to show their unhappiness on Independence Day by waving black flags.
