Farmers' protests: Over 1,300 telecom towers damaged in Punjab
Description
CHANDIGARH: Despite Punjab CM Amarinder Singh’s appeal to protesting farmers to not damage telecom infrastructure, more than 150 signal transmitting sites were vandalised across the state in the last 24 hours. So far, farmers protesting against the Centre’s agri laws have either damaged or snapped power lines of over 1,330 telecom towers in the state. Amarinder had on Friday urged the farmers to exercise restraint as forceful disruption of telecom services due to snapping of power supply to mobile towers was affecting the studies of students, who are dependent on online education.
