It says that the incident occurred in Dehradun. It also includes some other photos of the cell tower. The article states, \u201cA fire broke out at the cell tower installed on the roof of Shakti Kumar Mehta, a resident of Ankitpuram&#8217;s GMS Road. The fire broke out at around five in the morning on Wednesday. The flames quickly grew prompting those in the neighbourhood to come out of their houses. They feared that the tower would fall and called the fire station. Fire engines quickly reached the spot and they extinguished the blaze. According to the Fire Department, the fire occurred due to a short circuit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-83566 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/word-image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"519\" height=\"742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/word-image.jpeg 519w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/word-image-210x300.jpeg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>News18 Hindi also did a <a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.news18.com\/videos\/uttarakhand\/dehradun-mobile-tower-catches-fire-in-dehradun-1031166.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video story<\/a> about this fire on June 29, 2017.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-83567 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/word-image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/word-image-1.jpeg 810w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/word-image-1-300x127.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/word-image-1-768x325.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, social media users falsely linked a June 2017 clip of a burning cell tower in Dehradun to the farmers&#8217; protests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A TikTok video of a cell tower on fire has been viral on social media for the past few days.
