This is not just a power outage. It is a targeted attack by the BJP government on the housing, dignity, and citizenship of the working class, those who perform essential labour that keeps this city running.
Sangrami Gharelu Kamgar Union stands in resistance and solidarity!

[Sangrami Gharelu-kamgar Union (SGU) @UnionSGU]

No Electricity in Jai Hind Camp, Vasant Kunj!
For the past five days, residents of Jai Hind Camp have been living without electricity, their connection cut off.
This is not just a power outage.

Unions and activists across the country have highlighted how domestic workers are frequently subjected to false criminalization and police harassment, with no safeguards to prevent such workplace harassment.

Recently, a domestic worker in Kerala was harassed by the police based on a false theft accusation by employers. She has since submitted complaints to the CM of Kerala, and Kerala State SC/ST Commission.
