New Delhi: Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has moved Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking urgent intervention of government  to halt destruction of towers.

Over 1,600 telecom towers owned or operated by the Reliance Jio were destroyed in the past few days by miscreants. Jio has alleged that the acts of vandalism were instigated by business rivals.

The company clarified that it has nothing  to do with the three farm laws currently debated in the country. As such, the sole nefarious purpose of linking the name of Reliance to these laws is to harm our businesses and damage the reputation of the company.

The petition filed on Monday said that neither Reliance nor any of our subsidiaries has purchased any agricultural land, directly or indirectly, in Punjab and Haryana or anywhere else in India, for the purpose of corporate or contract farming.
