Jaipur: Telecom operators shut down cell towers situated on school premises in the entire state from 9pm on Monday in compliance with the Rajasthan high court order of August 22.

“The shutting down of 199 towers would affect 35 lakh customers across the state. Among the towers which have been shut down, almost 100 are in state capital itself. In the state there are 40 cities which have single towers and will face complete coverage blackout,” said Sudipto Chowdhury, representative of Cellular Operator Association of India (COAI).
