Pakistan Beaming Unauthorized Telecom Signals into Jammu and Kashmir, Officials Say
Officials report that Pakistan is deliberately beaming unauthorized cellular signals into Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the Jammu region, to facilitate covert communication for terrorist groups. A surge in telecom towers along the Line of Control in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir enables signals to reach several jails housing militants, bypassing current jammers. Due to the region's terrain and evolving threats, authorities emphasize the need for advanced technology to detect and neutralize these rogue signals without disrupting civilian networks.
