Haryana Power Cut News: A three-day statewide strike by Haryana power employees was scheduled for August 11 to 13, 2026, raising concerns about possible electricity disruptions across the state. However, the latest update is that the proposed strike has been called off after talks with Energy Minister Anil Vij. Therefore, claims that Haryana will face a mandatory statewide power cut for three days because of the strike are misleading.

The proposed strike was linked to employee concerns over power-sector privatisation, a proposed parallel electricity distribution licence, the Haryana Agri DISCOM and smart meters.

Will Haryana Power Cut Begin From August 11 To 13?

No statewide power cut has been announced because of the proposed strike. The employees had initially planned to strike from August 11 to 13, but the latest development is that the strike has been withdrawn following discussions with the state government.

This means consumers should not assume that electricity supply will be stopped across Haryana for three consecutive days.

However, local power cuts can still occur because of maintenance work, technical faults, heavy rain, waterlogging, damaged infrastructure or emergency repairs.

Why Did Haryana Power Employees Call The Strike?

Haryana power employees and engineers had announced the strike in opposition to several proposed changes in the state’s electricity sector.

Their concerns included:

  • Proposed Haryana Agri DISCOM
  • Granting of a parallel electricity distribution licence
  • Concerns over privatisation of power distribution
  • Proposed smart meter rollout
  • Various pending employee and service-related demands

The employees had earlier issued a notice for the August 11–13 statewide strike after negotiations failed to resolve their concerns.

Haryana Power Cut August 11 To 13: District-Wise Full List

There is no confirmed district-wise statewide power-cut list linked to the cancelled strike.

  • Scheduled maintenance
  • Feeder or transformer work
  • Technical faults
  • Heavy rain and waterlogging
  • Fallen poles or electrical wires
  • Emergency repair work

Consumers should check the official outage information provided by their respective electricity distribution company before believing a social media claim about a power cut.

Haryana Power Cut Fact Check Verdict

Claim: Haryana will face statewide power cuts from August 11 to 13 because power employees are going on strike.

Fact: A three-day statewide strike was announced for August 11–13. However, the latest update says the strike has been called off following talks with Energy Minister Anil Vij.

Therefore, claims that the entire state will definitely experience a three-day power shutdown because of the strike are false or misleading.

What is true? A strike was originally planned.
What changed? The proposed strike was withdrawn.
What about local outages? Individual areas can still face power cuts due to maintenance, faults, weather, or emergency work.

Haryana Power Strike Latest News: What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers should not panic over viral messages claiming that electricity will be completely shut down across Haryana from August 11 to 13.

Residents should check their respective electricity provider if they experience an outage. DHBVN consumers in areas such as Faridabad, Gurugram, Hisar, Sirsa, Rewari and Palwal can use the DHBVN complaint channels, while UHBVN consumers in northern Haryana can use the UHBVN complaint system.

During heavy rain, residents should also avoid touching fallen electrical wires, damaged poles, transformers or electrical equipment in waterlogged areas.
