Patiala, January 28
PSEB Engineers’ Association and Joint Action Committee (JAC) will hold protest meetings in Punjab on February 12 and other states across country besides observing work boycott. Announcing the decision, Association general secretary Ajaypal Singh Atwal said that the proposed protest meetings strike reflects the deep-rooted anger and concern of lakhs of electricity employees and engineers against policies that threaten to dismantle India’s public power sector.
AIPEF has also issued a stern warning that if the Draft Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2025 is introduced in Parliament during the Budget Session, power engineers along with power employees across the country will launch immediate lightning actions, including cessation of work and mass street mobilisation.
“Electricity is the backbone of India’s economy, agriculture, industry and rural livelihoods. The Draft Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2025 and the National Electricity Policy 2026 are a direct attack on affordable power, public ownership, federal structure and national energy security”, said AIPEF leaders.
AIPEF Media Advisor V.K.Gupta informed that Federation has demanded from the union government to immediately withdrawal of the Draft Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2025 and the National Electricity Policy, 2026.
