Buddhist monks join farm protest at Ghazipur border on Wednesday
Times View: The senseless attack on Jio towers will neither benefit the farmers’ movement nor help the growth of business in the state. In fact, it will help nobody. Law enforcement agencies should firmly deal with such miscreants.
Chandigarh/New Delhi: Taking a serious view of the damage done to over 1,600 mobile towers of Reliance Jio during the ongoing farmers’ protest in the past few days across the state, Punjab governor V P Singh Badnore has summoned chief secretary Vini Mahajan and DGP Dinkar Gupta to the Raj Bhawan to seek a report on the matter.
Sources said the governor is concerned about the failure of law enforcement to prevent such attacks on communication installations which are vital to the economy and the mainstay of online education during the pandemic. Sources said BJP leadership has raised the issue with the governor.
Centre has also been keeping a wary eye on the targeting of Reliance Jio, intrigued that assets of Reliance should have been exclusively targeted when they are not into contract farming or foodgrains.
