Jio seeks Punjab CM’s intervention to safeguard telecom infra, urges action against miscreants

With its telecom infrastructure in the state being damaged during farmers’ protest, Reliance Jio has written to Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh seeking his intervention for action against those responsible for the incidents of “sabotage and vandalism”.

In a letter to the chief minister, Jio flagged the acts of sabotage and vandalism at its network sites “by unknown persons in the disguise of ongoing farmers agitation”.

It alleged that the damage being inflicted is “deliberate” in nature with “ulterior motives and clear intent” of causing maximum disruption to the company’s infrastructure and services.
