Farmers and residents of different villages on Friday shut the power supply to 30 towers of Jio mobile. The farmers protesting against the three agri laws have now started disconnecting the power supply to mobile towers thus disrupting the telecom services in several parts of the district. The power supply to more than 100 towers has been disconnected till date in the district.

Sukhwinder Singh Sabhra, district president of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, Punjab, said power supply to the cellular company towers in Sabhra, Jaura, Boparai, Maniala Jai Singh and Algo Kala villages was cut today.

Other farmer leaders Dhanna Singh Laluguman and Baljit Singh Bhghel Singh Wala said in Chabal area farmers cut the power supply of towers installed in Chabal (three towers), Thatha, Bir Baba Budha Sahib, Baghel Singh Wala, Baghiari, Sohal Thathi, Panjawar, Dhand and Kasel villages.

The power supply to towers in Ratta Gudda, Marimegha, Sandhpura, Padhri Kalan, Rasulpur, Bhura Kona, Maluwal Santa and other villages was disconnected in the last two days.

Dhanna Singh said the farmers had been regularly making announcements to the resident through the public address system of the gurdwaras to change your network operator by retaining your existing mobile number.

According to information, the company has its 300 towers in the border district.

Kashmir Singh, a resident of Kot Dharam Chand Kalan, said before cutting power supply to the tower, farmers and the other residents had organised a rally in the village and condemned the Central government for protecting the interests of big corporate houses at the cost of common man. — OC
