500 illegal telecom networks operating in the country: House Panel

29 Mar 2012 Evaluate

There are about 500 illegal telecom networks operating in different parts of the country which pose a security threat and are also cause a great loss  to the government in terms of revenue, states a report tabled by the Parliamentary panel on telecom. The report further says that 500 is only the number of cases reported, and the actual number can be much higher.  The panel has also pulled up the Department of Telecom (DoT) for not maintaining proper data.

The Standing Committee has observed that such networks exist in 16 states and Andhra Pradesh leads the pack by 120 cases. Tamil Nadu has 100 whereas Delhi and Maharashtra have 16 and 54 respectively. The count for Kerala is 31.

The Panel has also pulled up the DoT for its casual attitude in drafting response to the Committee. It has observed that the Department instead of collecting and furnishing the data has reproduced the already known information in vague manner. The panel said that there are urgent steps required to ensure cases of illegal telecom networks mushrooming in the country and are investigated within the stipulated timeframe and the offenders found guilty are penalised.
