THE newly-introduced biometric system for verification brings us an opportunity to another source of income. On Feb 21 I went for SIM verification at a SIM outlet in Kohat. I was shocked when asked to cough up Rs50 for a SIM.

How much amount is being overcharged to customer? Can PTA or cellular network franchises take strong action against such outlets? The authorities concerned should look into this matter.
