I AM a student of International Islamic University, Islamabad. I live in Kuwait Hostel, Faisal Mosque. For more than two years we have telecommunication problems here.

Mobile phones often show signal jammer alert notification. We are having serious trouble in connecting with each other and even with our families, teachers and friends.

On asking university authorities we have been informed that signal jammers have been fixed by the government and special agencies somewhere in Margalla Hills.

I request the government and the authorities concerned to fix this problem and remove jammers, especially from Kuwait Hostel area, so that we can contact our families and friends in an emergency.
