Haryana Power Employees Plan Strike Over Proposed Sector Reforms Amid Failed Talks
Power employees in Haryana, represented by the Joint Action Front, plan a three-day statewide strike from August 11 to 13 against proposed power sector reforms including parallel licensing, Agri DISCOM creation, smart metering, and privatisation. They argue these measures could financially burden the state and harm rural consumers. Despite government efforts, including talks led by Energy Minister Anil Vij, negotiations failed to resolve disputes. The employees demand withdrawal of these policies and additional benefits, warning of intensified protests if ignored.
