Reader brief
Through the Reader lens: The Congress party's legal and human rights wing in Dakshina Kannada has clarified that the central government-run Telecommunications Consultants India Limited is responsible for managing the Mangaluru district prison's signal jammers. This statement follows political back-and-forth and public interest litigation over cellular network disruptions caused by the jammers in surrounding residential areas. Congress representatives criticized the Mangaluru Bar Association and local lawmakers for politicizing the issue instead of coordinating with TCIL or local Members of Parliament to build additional telecom towers.
