Power Engineers Federation Vows to Resist Electricity Privatisation

A big group of power engineers in India, called AIPEF, is worried about the government's plan to let private companies run the electricity system.

They think electricity is like a public treasure that should belong to everyone, not just to make money for a few businesses.

The engineers say that for many years, the country and its people paid to build the power lines and stations.

If private companies take over, they might only serve rich customers and leave poor villages and farmers without good service.

The group also worries that private companies will control clean energy like solar and wind, which is very important for the future.

Instead of selling things off, they want the government to make the public power companies stronger with more workers, better technology, and more money.

AIPEF is asking all engineers to join together and peacefully protest these changes.

They want to protect the public power system, the people who use it, and the workers who keep it running.
