Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Dy. Chairman Planning Commission has directed all the states to privatise the power supply in major cities/towns. This suggestion is part of the privatisation policy of the government and is intended to help the private companies to reap huge profit. Whatever has happened wherever the power supply has been handed over to private companies is well-known. The prices are increased, supply is bad and the people are in difficulty. But the government is not worried about. They want to relinquish from their responsibility of supplying power at minimum charges and want to help the power companies to reap high profit.

This government move is to be opposed strongly by all and defeated in the proposal stage itself. Other wise, the woes of the people will increase only. The ordinary people will be completely deprived of power supply and only the rich will be able get electricity.
