Government today asked telecom operators to provide a "fool-proof" plan for verification of customers in Jammu and Kashmir before a decision to revoke the pre-paid mobile services ban there could be contemplated.

Denying media reports that the ban had been revoked in the militancy-hit state, home minister PC Chidambaram made it clear that until he was "satisfied" with the plan of the telecom operators, the issue would not be revisited.

"We are holding discussions with the service providers. As I said earlier, if the service providers come up with a fool-proof plan of 100% verification and I am satisfied with the plan then we will revisit the issue," Chidambaram told reporters here.

The state government had asked the Centre to formulate a policy soon for the telecom operators for restarting pre-paid mobile services in the state which should include stringent action, besides financial penalties for firms not complying with verification process.

The government feels that mere imposition of a financial penalty was not helping the security agencies and that a law needs to be formulated under which stringent action could be taken against erring officials, besides imposing a financial burden on the telecom operators, official sources said.

Earlier this month, the service operators were asked by the government to fine-tune verification procedures of pre-paid service to customers.
