Agitating protesters from Punjab and their supporters have cut off the power supply to around 1,300 mobile towers of telecom carrier Reliance Jio in Punjab, disrupting the mobile and internet services and causing inconvenience to the users who depend on the company s network and infrastructure,
Financial Express.
Reliance Jio operates around 9,000 towers in Punjab, of which around 1,300 have been cut off. It should be noted that in case of some towers, the protesters have gone as far as to cut down the fibre itself.
While no legal action has yet been taken against the protesters by Punjab Police or Punjab Government, Chief Minister (CM) Amarinder Singh has appealed to the protesters to exercise restraint and to not cause inconvenience to the general public.
