You are aware that Ministry of Power , GOI has circulated Draft Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2020 when whole country and Power Engineers & Employees are fighting hard to combat pandemic of COVID -19. Time given by MoP to submit the comment on Bill is only 21 days from date of issue of letter ie 17th April. It is very clear that issuing Draft Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2020 in present crisis is highly unwanted and has generated lot of resentment amongst power engineers & employees who are untiringly working day & night to ensure uninterrupted power supply. This move of MoP at this crucial juncture is totally disappointing for the power sector.

2. Under the given circumstances It has been decided to launch Tweet Campaign for five days demanding withdrawal of Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2020 pushed for privatization during COVID-19 Pandemic crisis & Nationwide Lock Down which is neither necessary nor urgent. We demand extensive consultation with power engineers, employees & consumers for improvement. Tweet Campaign will be for five days national and region wise as following & request every engineer to tweet. In present circumstances it will give a boost to our demand. This is call of the hour to show our UNITY & SOLIDARITY. Please ensure 100% tweet of every engineer.
