Captain Amarinder Singh

Chandigarh, December 25
Amid reports of the disconnection of power supply to mobile towers across the state, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday appealed to protesting farmers not to inconvenience the 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 the telecom connectivity had become even more critical for people amid the Covid pandemic, the Chief Minister urged the farmers to show the same sense of responsibility which they had been displaying during their protest at the Delhi border.
He urged them not to take the law in their hands by forcibly shutting down telecom connectivity or manhandling employees of telecom service providers. Stressing such actions were not in the interest of Punjab and its future, he requested the farmers to reciprocate by ensuring that the battle for justice does not cause any problems to people.
He said such actions would adversely impact his government’s efforts to attract more investment in the telecom sector as part of its recently announced New Telecom Guidelines 2020, which was aimed at improving telecom connectivity in the state.
