security situation improves: PC

Jammu, Nov 4 (PTI) The Centre tonight said it can revisit the decision to ban pre-paid mobile phones in Jammu and Kashmir once the security situation in the state improves.

Chidambaram said the Home Ministry's decision to ban pre-paid connections was a "considered" one and "for the time being the decision stands as it was taken after most careful consideration and my judgement in this case has to be trusted".

"As you are aware that we had hinted at on this issue about two months back and I think that service providers will meet the government and present a plan by which we can reconcile security interest and the interests of consumers", Chidambaram told a press conference here.

"It may take a little time but once things are in place for a fairly secure system, then perhaps we can review the decision", he said.
