Telangana Engineers Protest Against Electricity Privatisation
Engineers in Telangana are protesting against the government's plan to privatize electricity.
They say this will make electricity more expensive and hurt farmers and regular people.
They want the government to build more power plants instead.
They are planning to march to Delhi to show their protest.
They also don't like a new bill about electricity that the government is trying to pass.
They believe keeping electricity under government control will keep prices low and help everyone.
Telangana Power Engineers Joint Action Committee (TGPEJAC) protested against electricity privatisation.
They opposed the Electricity Amendment Bill 2025, warning it would increase hardship for farmers and consumers.
TGPEJAC urged the Telangana government to build more public-sector power plants for affordable supply.
They highlighted high electricity rates in privatised metros like Kolkata and Mumbai.
A national march to Delhi is planned for January 30 to protest privatisation efforts.
