Finally J&K lifts ban over SMS on pre-paid mobiles.
Srinagar, May 20: Jammu and Kashmir government
today lifted the four-year-old ban on Short Messaging
Services (SMS) on all pre-paid cell phone subscribers in
the state.
"On the instructions of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah,
the restriction on SMS to the pre-paid cell phones in
the State has been revoked," an official spokesman
said.
He said the subscribers of pre-paid cell phones had
made requests to the chief minister in this regard and
he issued instructions to the agencies concerned to lift
the said restriction.
Pertinent to mention here that in June 2010, the state
government had imposed a ban on the SMS in the State
following a widespread unrest in the valley. However,
six months later the government lifted the ban on all
post-paid mobile phone subscribers but refrained from
withdrawing it on pre-paid cell phones.
