Phone jammers

Published July 25, 2016

AS we know mobile phone jammers around the Hyderabad Central Jail were installed about six months back in the wake of threats of attacks by terrorists to free their accomplices in that prison. But the problem is that jammers have suspended mobile phone services in the prison and have affected connections of neighbourhoods, including Bakramandi, Mullah Ismail Goth, Arain Goth, Umar Town and many more areas.

The authorities concerned should look into the problem and provide relief where necessary.
