INLD opposes bid to privatise power distribution in Gurugram and Nuh

Senior Indian National Lok Dal leader and former Finance Minister of Haryana Sampat Singh criticized the Haryana government's decision to award electricity distribution in Gurugram and Nuh to a private company. He argued that this move represents an attempt to transfer public assets and infrastructure to private entities, despite the fact that Gurugram's power distribution company generates full revenue and has low line losses. Singh raised concerns about potential negative impacts on farmers, employment, and wages, and accused the Congress party of failing to participate in the regulatory hearing on the issue. He emphasized that court guidelines requiring consideration of financial health, experience, and public interest were not being followed.
