Why don't they track, arrest and punish the extortionists rather than simply blocking the sims?
Strict action should be taken against these all culprits with imprisonment and a big fine...Hamid HK
Once again this is a wrong move played by CPLC .. they should have blocked all these SIMS after 30th of November, yet again these extortionist get a free chance to buy new SIM easily and readily before PTA ban to buy new SIMS from shops.
