If there is any unilateral move to rush through the Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2021, in Parliament without taking stakeholders into confidence, power employees across the country will be forced to resort to nationwide strike, the All India Power Engineers Federation (AIPEF) announced Friday.
V K Gupta, a spokesperson of AIPEF, said that they oppose the announcement made by Union Power Minister R K Singh to pass the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2021 in the monsoon session of Parliament.
After the farmers’ agitation last year, the Central government had assured United Kisan Morcha that the Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2021, will not be placed in Parliament without discussion with all the stakeholders.
