Central Jail jammers

Letter February 28, 2016
Jamming of network signals has thrown people living in the vicinity of Central Jail into the Stone Age

HYDERABAD: I am a resident of Journalists Colony, which is adjacent to the Hyderabad Central Jail and we have been deprived of using our cellular networks for over 20 days owing to jammers. Some surrounding areas like Mubarak Colony, Kalhora Colony and some parts of Hirabad also come under its limit. This jamming of network signals has thrown people living in the vicinity of Central Jail into the Stone Age.

I request the authorities concerned to replace long-range cellular jammers with short range ones so that we can avail of modern communication facilities.
