Prepaid mobile connections to be banned in J&K

Indian Government has decided to ban all the pre-paid mobile connections in Jammu and Kashmir with effect from Nov 1. The government has cited security reasons behind this step. This decision was enforced by the government after it was reported that militants were using prepaid mobiles connections under forged names.  This announcement has been made by the government, just a few days after Home Minister P Chidambaram had informed the people that government is planning for such a move.
