  "account": "Since October 10, electricity and water supply disruptions have plagued several parts of Gurugram, Faridabad, and Nuh districts in Haryana. Over 3,000 electricity complaints were filed within the first 12 hours, as reported by PTI. The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) recently granted private company Eleven Power a 25-year parallel license to distribute electricity in Gurugram and Nuh, igniting a strike by Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) employees. This strike has impacted electricity and water in Gurugram, Faridabad and Nuh since 10 pm on Wednesday. Industrial units across Daulatabad, Kadipur, and Sector 37 have been affected, raising concerns about manufacturing and commercial operations. In Gurugram, residents in multiple residential colonies are now relying on generators for electricity and stored water, but the supply is expected to last only a few hours. Chief Minister Narendra Singh Saini promised to represent the employees' case before the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) and offered to engage trusted lawyers to pursue the matter. However, the government's response has been criticized as helpless, with residents demanding either a resolution of employees' demands or a restoration of supply by the Disaster Management team.",
