Power employees to boycott work on Feb 3

Lucknow, Jan 19(UNI) Power engineers, along with 1.5 million employees, across the country will go for token work boycott and hold protest meetings on February 3, against privatization policies of the central Government, the All India Power Engineers Federation (AIPEF) announced here on Tuesday.
Mr Shailendra Dubey, Chairman AIPEF, in a letter to the Prime Minister stated that power engineers and employees are grieved over the Central Government’s move towards the power sector privatization through Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2020 & Standard Bidding Document for total privatization of distribution of electricity. They are opposing conversion of public monopoly to private monopoly.
He said that the policy of privatization was slowly destroying the Public Sector across the country while giving huge benefits to selected corporates. Privatization and targeted benefits to chosen corporates is the root cause of employees & engineers agitation. He said AIPEF expresses solidarity to struggling organisations of peasants whose one of the main demands is withdrawal of Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2020.
