Jio’s loss is rival’s gain

As protests against Reliance Jio continued in Jalandhar and Phagwara today, rival telecom firms have begun taking advantage of the situation. Airtel has started holding camps for registering new subscribers, most of whom were earlier using Jio. In Jalandhar, farmers forced Reliance to keep their stores shut. They marched towards a Jio tower installed in Pholariwal village. Farmers marched to close Jio’s three stores in Phagwara. Deputy Superintendent of Police informed the farmers that the staff had shut the stores. — TNS
