Karnataka CM Shivakumar hints at closing door on Tata Power for distribution biz in state

In a recent statement, Chief Minister DK Shivakumar of Karnataka revealed his opposition to Tata Power's push into the state's electricity distribution market. He aims to present the issues at his cabinet meeting, referencing worries from power sector workers and minister KJ George. Disappointed by the absence of employee protests during the BJP's privatization measures in 2003, Shivakumar maintains confidence in the capabilities of state entities to oversee distribution.
