Indian mobile SIM cards are being widely used in border villages of Kasba, Akhaura, and Bijoynagar Upazilas, causing significant revenue losses for the Bangladesh government. Local enforcement agencies remain largely inactive despite the issue. Due to poor mobile network coverage, residents, particularly the youth, rely on Indian SIM cards for internet services. The widespread use of these SIMs facilitates communication between cross-border smugglers and human traffickers, contributing to rising criminal activities. Residents claim they are forced to use Indian SIMs due to the poor network coverage of Bangladeshi operators.
