Haryana Power Staff Announce Strike Against Private Distribution Licence
Power employees and engineers in Haryana have announced a three-day strike from October 22 to 24 to protest the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission's decision to grant a 25-year parallel power distribution licence to Eleven Power Private Limited for Gurugram and Nuh districts. The protesters argue this move amounts to indirect privatisation, weakening the state-owned Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam and risking higher consumer costs. The All India Power Engineers Federation and opposition leaders have expressed strong opposition, warning of negative impacts on farmers, consumers, and public utilities.
