08 Nov 09 Kashmir Consumers Protest Ban on Pre-Paid Mobile Phones
Last week, the New Delhi government issued a ban on the use of prepaid phones due to security threats. And as you would expect, private consumers who are banking on prepaid phone use for economical means of communication threw a howling protest. Many of them went out on the streets carrying placards showing “Stop Suspecting Kashmirs” led by party chief Mehbooba Mufti. The ban affected 3.8 million users. The government has said it will review the ban once security concerns are addressed.
