BONGAIGAON: The Assam State Power Workers' Union (ASPWU) will stage a protest on June 1 wearing black badges. In a press release, Amit Kar, general secretary of ASPWU, said that they would protest against the Central Government's proposal to hand over power distribution companies to private sector. "The Central Government issued a proposal recently to hand over power distribution sectors to private companies. The Centre sought advice from State Governments in this regard by June 5. Such a move will have negative impact on employees as well as consumers. So, we strongly oppose this and will never allow such anti-labour activity," said Kar.
