Bangladesh government has hung up on the country’s oldest mobile phone operator Citycell after it failed to pay the money it owed.
State Minister for Post and Telecommunications Tarana Halim announced the closure at a press conference at the office of telecoms regulators BTRC Thursday evening.
“Citycell’s spectrum is being suspended,” she told reporters at a hurriedly called press conference.
A team of BTRC officials accompanied by RAB and police went to the Citycell office in Mohakhali earlier in the day amidst speculations that it was to carry out the official decision of shutting down the operations.
BTRC Director (Enforcement) Yakub Ali Bhuiyan was seen entering the Citycell Headquarters Pacific Centre in Mohakhali around 4:45pm on Thursday.
A few police and RAB officers accompanied him, while others stood guard outside.
