BTRC suspends 3G, 4G services in Rohingya camps

“The services were suspended on Tuesday night,” BTRC Senior Assistant Director Zakir Hossain told. “It will remain effective until further notice.”

He said mobile operators were earlier directed to suspend 3G and 4G services between 5pm and 6am every day in Cox's Bazar Rohingya camps, reports UNB.

The BTRC on Monday night ordered mobile operators to suspend 3G and 4G data services in the area.

Bangladesh is currently hosting more than a million Rohingyas in Cox’s Bazar camps.
