Just imagine a scenario where there was a major breach of security and the situation warranted the urgent meetings of the President, Prime Minister, Defence Minister, Defence Secretary, Military Chiefs. How would one contact them. Just walk onto the special dais that was erected for teh Independence celebrations and whisper to their respective ears? By the time this is done or the respective leaders receive news everything would be lost and what would there be to celebrate next year? This is idiotic. What surest and safest method to contact other than SMS. 118 or 119? Better not talk about these operators. Well, welcome to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.

Imagine what would have happened if somebody wanted to contact one of them about a serious security concern. They would not have answered the phone in the middle of celebrations. SMS is the only way to contact a person asap in such a situation by cutting off SMS, whoever responsible for the action make the situation more, not less risky.

This is the fault of spineless operators. They do not have guts to say no when govt asks to do something unethical and unfair from their customer's point of view. There is no point blaming the govt.
