Expressed displeasure on the order issued three days ago
An order was issued by the Chairman of Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation three days ago. There was mention of the proposal to privatize Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam and Dakshinanchal Vitran Nigam. Since then the employees are getting angry.
Will decide the outline of opposition to privatization
Ankur Pandey, media in-charge of Vidyut Mazdoor Panchayat, said that it has already been decided in the core committee meeting of the Panchayat that privatization of electricity will not be tolerated. In the year 2000, in the meeting chaired by the then Chief Minister, it was clearly written that if the loss of Rs 77 crore was not reduced within one year of the formation of the Power Corporation, then it would again be made the State Electricity Council. Whereas at present the loss is being said to be one lakh crore. From which it is clear that the experiment of creating a power corporation has completely failed.
