Power engineers have strongly objected to the Union power minister’s statement that the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2021 will be tabled and passed in the monsoon session of Parliament.
They have also warned that any such action would trigger a nationwide strike by power engineers and employees.
“Any unilateral action to get the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2021 passed in Parliament without taking the electricity employees and engineers across the country into confidence will be strongly opposed and all 27 lakh electricity employees and engineers of the country will be forced to resort to a nationwide strike,” Shailendra Dubey, All-India Power Engineers’ Federation (AIPEF), chairman, said here on Friday.
