Telangana Electricity Employees’ Joint Action Committee have cautioned that the they are ready to go on a lightning strike along with the electricity employees across the country to strongly oppose the amendments planned by the Centre to the Electricity Act by introducing Electricity Amendment Bill 2022 during the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament.
Chairman of the JAC K. Prakash and convenor N. Shivaji said in a statement issued here on Friday that they were ready to go on strike anytime as part of the All India Federation of Electricity Employees call to protest the amendments to the Electricity Act planned against the interests of farming community, public sector power utilities and their employees and consumers.
The JAC leaders said the Centre was trying to introduce the Bill in Parliament without holding any consultations with the stakeholders and it reflected the Centre’s dictatorial attitude. Terming the trend as as dangerous, they said all electricity employees would attend to duties by wearing black badges from Monday.
