MAY 22:
In a pro-active gesture to yatris undertaking the annual pilgrimage to the sacred shrine of Amarnath, BSNL will issue special pre-paid SIM cards to keep them connected throughout.
At present, prepaid connections from States other than Jammu & Kashmir do not work, as per guidelines of the Department of Telecommunications. Yatris having post-paid SIMs can be connected through the roaming network, BSNL officials said at a review meeting held by the Union Minister of ICT Killi Kruparani. The Minister asked the Government undertaking in the J&K circle to complete all works related to the Amarnath yatra before June.
