Currently, it is not clear as to why Jio is malfunctioning in certain parts of the country. An explanation for the outage is expected soon and we will update the story once we know more. It is worth pointing out that JioFiber and Jio networks are functional in our part of the city, however it may not be the same for you. We suggest reaching out to Reliance Jio’s customer care on phone or on Twitter to get a real-time update on the situation.
