Power men on Wednesday held protest meetings in various cities of the state, joining the countrywide stir in response to a call by the National Coordination Committee of Electricity Employees and Engineers (NCEEE) to oppose the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2021.
They pledged to resort to a total work boycott the day the Bill is tabled in the current session of Parliament.
“Since the contentious Bill is listed for the winter session of Parliament, we held demonstrations today at all district headquarters across the country in all states, including UP, to register our protest,” Shailendra Dubey, chairman, All India Power Engineers Federation (AIPEF), said.
