As per news report of NDTV, they vented their anger by snapping power supply, cutting cables of telecom towers, and damaging Reliance Jio's infrastructure. The culprits apparently viewed the Mukesh Ambani-owned firm as one of the major beneficiaries of the farm laws passed in September. Thousands of farmers have been protesting for over a month against these laws which they feel are detrimental to their long-term interests.
