An old video from Dehradun has gone viral with the claim that it is that of a burning Jio tower in Punjab.

Many farmers protesting against the three contentious farm bills believe that the farm laws have been passed to support big corporates like Adani and Ambani. To show their resentment against the corporates the agitating farmers of Punjab vandalised Jio towers.

According to a report by Indian Express on December 30, 2020, over 176 mobile signal transmitting sites were vandalised in Punjab. In context to this, a video has gone viral with the claim that it is that of a burning Jio tower in Punjab.
