Telecommunications companies have halted barring of calls of customers who are yet to complete the registration of their SIM cards.
Citi News sources say the National Communications Authority(NCA) withdrew the earlier directive to the telecommunication companies following a public backlash over the issue.
Although the NCA and the Telecommunication Chamber are tight-lipped on the issue, Citi News information reveals that no calls have been barred contrary to the earlier directive.
The NCA was sued by a group asking the Supreme Court to declare the deadline for registration and the associated punitive measures for non-registration null and void.
It argued that the punitive measures are unconstitutional.
