Amid reports of disconnection of power supply to various mobile towers across the state, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Friday appealed to protesting farmers not to inconvenience the general public with such actions but to continue to exercise the same restraint as they had been showing over the past several months of their agitation.
Pointing out that telecom connectivity had become even more critical for people amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chief Minister urged the farmers to show the same discipline and sense of responsibility which they had been exercising during their protest at the Delhi border, which has completed one month, and also earlier during their agitation in the State.
Urging the farmers not to take the law in their hands by forcibly shutting down telecom connectivity or manhandling employees or technicians of telecom service providers, the Chief Minister said that such actions were not in the interest of Punjab and its future.
