Today, a meeting held with the mobile operators, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) announced that mobile connections that are well ordered in Rohingya refugee camps will be verified within 7 days.
The telecom regulatory commission has decided to verify the mobile users where roughly 900,000 mobile connections are used regularly, stated by a top placed source of BTRC.
“Within next seven days, we will find out the names and addresses used to register the SIMs,” said the officer who also attended the meeting.
The meeting also decided to halt all kinds of new SIM selling in Teknaf and Ukhiya. Fastest data connections (3G and 4G) will be off from evening to morning from today, he added. At the same time, mobile operators will weaken their networks in the border areas along with Myanmar, which includes Cox’s Bazar and Bandarban.
Earlier in a directive, the telecom regulator ordered all the mobile operators not to offer any mobile phone services to the Rohingya refugees and stop their services around the Rohingya camps.
