Haryana Power Employees Announce Three-Day Strike Amid Failed Talks with Government
Haryana power employees and engineers have announced a three-day statewide strike from August 11 to 13 after talks with government representatives and power utilities management failed to resolve key issues. The strike protests the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission's move to grant a parallel distribution licence to a private firm, the proposed formation of an Agri DISCOM, smart metering, and other demands. The government urged employees to withdraw the strike, assuring dialogue and consideration of genuine concerns, while employee leaders criticized the government's stance and warned of nationwide protests if punitive actions occur.
