Haryana power workers raise concerns over licence cancellation process

Staff members across Haryana's power sector have raised concerns about the procedural adequacy of the state government's decision to cancel power distribution licences, citing a lack of proper protocol and stakeholder engagement in the process.

The employees have pointed to gaps in how the cancellation proceedings have been conducted, suggesting that established procedures were not followed and that affected workers were not given adequate opportunity to respond or provide input on the matter.

The concerns come as Haryana moves forward with plans that could significantly reshape its power distribution infrastructure. Workers have called for greater transparency and adherence to regulatory protocols before any licence cancellations are finalized.

The matter highlights tensions between regulatory authorities and the workforce regarding how major policy decisions affecting the power sector are implemented. Industry observers note that such procedural issues can create legal complications and operational uncertainties for all parties involved.

Haryana's power distribution authorities have not yet publicly responded to the allegations of procedural gaps raised by the employees.
