Chandigarh, Oct. 6 -- The All India Power Engineers Federation (AIPEF) on Monday said that any unilateral move to grant parallel distribution licence to Eleven Power in Gurugram and Nuh will be met with resistance through democratic and legal means. AIPEF chairman, Shailendra Dubey in a statement said that "any back door" privatisation of Haryana's highest-revenue power areas will be firmly resisted and Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) should not take any unilateral, hurried or predetermined decision to grant a parallel electricity distribution licence to Eleven Power. Dubey said that the manner in which the HERC proceedings were being conducted has created serious apprehensions among power engineers, employees, consumers and other stakeholders. "AIPEF already placed this concern before HERC and demanded complete transparency and due process. We are not alleging that HERC has already taken any decision in favor of Eleven Power, but the circumstances demand complete transparency," Dubey said. The AIPEF chairman said that if HERC proceeds to grant the licence without first giving AIPEF and all other affected stakeholders a full and meaningful opportunity of hearing, it will raise an extremely serious question mark over the fairness of the regulatory body. htc...
