In what will come as a relief to lakhs of subscribers across Jammu & Kashmir, the central government has lifted the ban on prepaid mobile phones, a home ministry official said today. The ban was imposed last year after the government cited security reasons in the terror-riven state.

“We have asked for stringent identity checks of prepaid mobile subscribers, after which telecom operators can issue prepaid SIM cards”, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
