By SM Najmus Sakib

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AA) - Bangladesh's telecommunications authority has asked all mobile phone operators to stop services in Rohingya camps and selling of SIM cards to them citing national security, an official said Monday.

Samiul Khan, a senior assistant director of Bangladesh Telecommunication and Regulatory Commission, confirmed issuing of this directive.

The move came after a news report saying SIM cards were being sold at refugee camps in Cox's Bazar defying a government ban imposed last October.
