Thousands of homes hit as strike blacks out parts of Gurgaon, Haryana districts

Haryana's electricity department employees launched a strike, resulting in extensive power outages throughout Gurgaon and nearby areas. This disruption severely affected daily routines and local industries. The protest arose from the government's decision to issue parallel distribution licenses to Eleven Power. In response, Energy Minister Anil Vij condemned this move and indicated plans for legal action, while union leaders insisted the strike would persist until their demands were met.
