The order came a day after the BTRC chairman said ‘properly’ registered SIM cards did not need to be registered again.
Minister of State for Posts and Telecommunications Tarana Halim confirmed bdnews24.com that they had written to the BTRC.
There are 128.7 million mobile phone subscribers in Bangladesh until July, BTRC data showed.
Asked about outgoing BTRC chief Sunil Kanti Bose’s comment, Halim said, “They (BTRC) were waiting for the directive. We sent them the letter today.”
