Tensions are high in Himachal Pradesh following the mysterious death of Chief Engineer Vimal Negi of HPPCL. His family, accompanied by colleagues, has taken to the streets, demanding a CBI probe into his demise, which they assert was not a suicide but a result of foul play.

The family's allegations of workplace harassment have sent ripples through the power corporation, leading to calls for suspensions of top officials. Authorities, including leaders from the opposition, have taken note, with demands for a comprehensive and pressure-free inquiry growing louder.

The calls for justice have gained political traction, with notable figures pressing for accountability in what they term serious mismanagement by the current administration.
