Jaipur: In the wake of rising tensions along the India-Pakistan border and the launch of Operation Sindoor, the Rajasthan administration has imposed a complete ban on the use of Pakistani local SIM cards in Jaisalmer district, following a similar decision in Sriganganagar.
The step has been taken to curb potential security threats and prevent misuse by terrorist organisations. Jaisalmer district collector Pratap Singh stated that Pakistani SIM cards pose a significant risk, as they can be exploited by terror groups for communication and coordination.
“In the interest of national security, the use of Pakistani SIM cards is now completely banned in Jaisalmer with immediate effect,” he said.
Telecom service providers have been instructed to block Pakistani network signals in the border areas. The district administration has appealed to local residents, especially those living in border villages, to comply strictly with the order and to report any suspicious activity immediately.
Authorities have assured that Indian telecom services will continue uninterrupted in the region. Security arrangements in the district remain robust.
Officials emphasised that this move is crucial for maintaining peace and ensuring public safety in sensitive border zones. India launched Operation Sindoor in retaliation for the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, resulting in the destruction of nine Pakistani terrorist camps.
