BEWARE – Corporatisation of Electricity Department may be happening silently

From last many years Electricity Department was trying to increase tariff for domestic users but it could consoles itself by increasing tariff for industrial users only.

There was a movement of corporatisation of Electricity Department and many social leaders submitted memorandums to the administration opposing the said move of corporatisation.

Political leadership and political parties have become so much away from public that they have lost their voice and conscience, otherwise what justifies their stand on such vital issue of people’s concerns. Not a single politicians or political parties have written a letter to the administration voicing their opposition to corporatisation in the interest of people. They might be thinking that money will buy those votes and they will again come to power.

Only one person was brave enough to spearhead people’s movement against corporatisation of Electricity Department single handed but he was arrested and jailed for 15 days without any charges to break his morale by the dictatorial administration.

Suddenly, some days ago an advertisement announcing reduction in tariff were published in many newspapers. This move is surprising, unexpected and unlikely of Administration of Daman & Diu.

There is very much likely that they have given anaesthetics with sugar coated pill. In this state of anaesthesia one fine day administration may announce the implementation of corporatisation of Electricity Department.

BEWARE – Daman & Diu – BEWARE – you may be taken for ride.
