Tower vandalism: Jio, Assocham write to Punjab CM Amarinder Singh, seek action

Mounting pressure on the Congress government in Punjab, Reliance Jio and ASSOCHAM separately wrote to Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh Wednesday with the telecom giant seeking his intervention for action against those responsible for the incidents of “sabotage and vandalism” of its mobile towers and the industry body saying these could dent the image of the state.

The letters come two days after Amarinder directed the police to take strict action against those indulging in vandalism.

In the letter to CM, Tajinder Pal Singh Walia, State Head – Reliance Jio Infocomm, Punjab Circle, flagged the acts of “sabotage” and “vandalism” at its network sites “by unknown persons in the disguise of ongoing farmers agitation”.
