Opposing the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2022, members of Karnataka Prantha Raitha Sangha (KPRS), Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and All India Agricultural Workers Union (AIAWU) will stage a protest and picket the GESCOM office in Kalaburagi on October 30.
Activists Sharanbasappa Mamshetty and M.B. Sajjan, addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, said that the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2022 aims to help private players in looting by using the infrastructure of State distribution companies.
The Bill has proposed that many power companies in the same area will be given licence to supply electricity through the distribution network of the State distribution companies.
