Haryana Government and Power Employees Clash Over Parallel Power Distribution Licence
Haryana Electricity Employees and Engineers Joint Struggle Front announced renewed protests against the Haryana government's and HERC's move to grant parallel power distribution licences in Gurugram and Nuh to private companies. The government, represented by Power Minister Anil Vij, stated it opposes the proposal and may seek legal recourse. Employees accuse the government of breaching promises made during earlier talks. Protests and hearings are planned, with calls for legislative opposition to the parallel licence system and the creation of an Agricultural Distribution Corporation.
