Telecom towers damage during farm stir: PSPCL directs staff to switch to Reliance Jio SIM cards

ALMOST TWO months after a series of incidents involving damage to Reliance Jio mobile towers and related network infrastructure were reported across the state amid the farmers’ agitation, the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has sent a directive to its officials to send details of their respective SIM cards to senior authorities with immediate effect so they can be replaced with Reliance Jio.

Thousands of PSPCL employees have been using Vodafone SIM cards for years now under the corporate connection scheme.

A letter in this regard sent by a deputy chief engineer headquarters cum administration, North Jalandhar, has also gone viral on social media, resulting in a backlash.
