The Bangladesh Telecommunication and Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has ordered all the mobile phone operators not to offer any mobile phone services to the Rohingya people.
The telecom regulator also asked the mobile phone operators to stop their services around the Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar.
The BTRC gave the order in a letter on Monday after getting directives from Posts and Telecommunications Minister Mustafa Jabbar, reports UNB
The letter asked mobile phone operators to stop the sale of SIM cards and mobile phone services at Rohingya camps within seven days.
The notice was issued following allegations of providing mobile phone services to Rohingyas through selling of SIM cards by mobile phone operators defying a government ban.
The government imposed a ban on selling of SIM cards to Rohingyas, who fled Rakhine state amid persecution there by military forces of Myanmar.
