Jammers in Nabha jail disrupt signals of cell phone users nearby

Hindustan Times  

Mobile phone jammers in the high-security Nabha Central Jail to detect and prevent use of mobile phones by prisoners have disrupted services in colonies nearby. Two days after jammers became functional, mobile subscribers living in the vicinity of the jail started facing network problems. He said the jail authorities should change the range and frequency of the jammers so that mobile signals of subscribers near the jails were not affected. "We have called in the engineers, who installed the jammers, to resolve the problem so that their range and frequency are limited only to the jail and do not mess with mobile signals outside the premises," Amrik said.
