The agitation was suspended on May 16. It however informed that the CSU will continue protesting symbolically in the form of displaying black flags “against the ongoing negligence and inaction of both the NHIDCL and the EPC contractor.” This, it said, will be the third phase of the agitation, which will take effect on May 17.
