The government will not disconnect mobile connections with they aren’t linked with Aadhaar, said Aruna Sundararajan, secretary in the department of telecommunications (DoT), on Wednesday.

The department is waiting for the Supreme Court judgement on the Aadhaar issue to decide on the action to be taken in cases where people have Aadhaar but do not want to link it with their mobile number. “We are also working on alternatives for people who are abroad (to help them link their mobile number with Aadhaar),” Sundararajan said.

The DoT, meanwhile, is looking to finalize the new telecom policy by February and would release its draft papers by December-end for public comments, telecom minister Manoj Sinha said on Wednesday. “We are trying to bring a new telecom policy by February. For this the working group has started the process. We expect a high-level committee working on it to finalize draft by end of December and place it for public comments,” Sinha told reporters.

It should be made compulsory. Also aadhar centers should be under scrutiny to ensure no one misuses or enter incorrect data.
