New Delhi, January 03: The ban on prepaid mobile phone service in Jammu and Kashmir is likely to be lifted by January 15.
The Centre is finalizing a “fool-proof” plan to ensure proper verification of nearly 38 million cell phone subscribers in the state, official sources said here today.
The Department of Telecom will file an affidavit this week in the Supreme Court about the measures being implemented by the government to ensure effective verification of the customer who purchases a pre-paid mobile number in the state, the sources said.
They said while the procedure was being given final touches, it was expected that the ban may be lifted from January 15.
