SIMs’ issuance

IT seems that cellular companies are not paying any heed to the warnings of Interior Minister Rehman Malik. They have failed to block SIMs issued under fake identities. As a matter of fact, this is not the first time that the interior minister has tried to bring this issue under the limelight.

However, most of his efforts, in this regard, have apparently gone down the drain. To add to this agony, terrorists are taking advantage of these connections and are using them to execute their criminal activities.

The ministry should now take strict action to settle this problem conclusively.
