The AIPEF chairman has stated that any attempt to privatise the power sector in Haryana through backdoor methods will be firmly resisted by the union.
The All India Power Employees Federation (AIPEF) has raised strong objections to moves perceived as backdoor privatisation within the Haryana power sector. The union's chairman has publicly declared that such initiatives will not be tolerated and will face significant resistance from the workforce.
In a statement addressing the ongoing developments, the AIPEF chairman emphasised the importance of maintaining public control over essential utilities. The union argues that shifting the power sector to private hands through indirect means undermines the interests of both employees and consumers in the state.
This stance highlights the growing tension between state-level power management strategies and organised labour groups in Haryana. The AIPEF has positioned itself as a key voice in protecting the status quo of the public power infrastructure, warning against any legislative or administrative steps that could facilitate private entry into the sector.
