Haryana Power Employees Strike Over Private Firm’s 25-Year Distribution Licence
Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission granted Eleven Power Private Limited a 25-year parallel power distribution licence for Gurugram and Nuh, prompting widespread protests. Power employees and engineers announced a three-day strike from October 22 to 24, alleging the move undermines the state-owned Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam and amounts to indirect privatisation. The state government opposes the decision and plans to challenge it legally. Farmers' groups and opposition leaders also criticized the licence, citing concerns over subsidies and public service impacts.
