Scrap move to privatise electricity distribution in Chandigarh: AIPEF

All India Power Engineers Federation on Sunday urged the government to withdraw the Union Cabinet decision to privatise power distribution in Chandigarh as the matter is still sub-judice.

“The All India Power Engineers Federation (AIPEF) on Sunday urged the government to withdraw Cabinet decision on privatisation of electricity distribution in UT (Union Territory) Chandigarh as the matter is still sub judice,” an AIPEF statement said.

The federation has asked the government to scrap the move to privatise electricity distribution in Chandigarh, it added.

AIPEF spokesperson VK Gupta said the legal challenge filed by the UT (Union Territory) employees is still sub judice, as the matter was first referred to the Supreme Court, which then directed it to the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
