Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Uttar Pradesh is planning to privatize two of its power distribution companies, Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam and Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam, in an effort to improve efficiency and reduce power losses. The state government has issued a tender to appoint consultants for the privatization process. This move is part of a broader strategy to address power sector challenges in the state, although it has sparked political debate, particularly regarding potential increases in electricity tariffs and concerns over job losses.
