Vodafone Idea hits out at Jio for baseless allegations over tower disruptions, port-outs

NEW DELHI: Vodafone Idea has joined Bharti Airtel in refuting competitor Reliance Jio’s allegations that channel partners of the two rivals were inciting and provoking agitators involved Jio tower disruptions and promoting port-outs from the telco in Punjab and Haryana.

“VIL will never be part of any such activity which has impact on network installations of any operator in the country. It seems a fictional conspiracy theory to implicate and cause damage to VIL,” the company spokesperson said.

Vodafone Idea further said it strongly condemns acts of vandalism against telecom infrastructure disrupting essential services.
