DHAKA, July 18, 2025 (BSS) - In protest against the internet shutdown on July 18, 2024 and as part of the celebration of July Uprising Day, all mobile subscribers in the country are getting 1 GB internet data free for 5 days from today.

BTRC earlier made a proposal to mobile phone operators to provide 1 GB internet to their customers free of cost on July 18. 

All mobile operators responded to this initiative and are providing 1 GB internet data free to their customers for 5 days.

Under the directives of BTRC, the operators informed their customers about the free data in advance through SMS, said a press release issued by the Chief Adviser's Press Wing.

From today, mobile subscribers will have to dial the codes of their respective mobile operators to get 1 GB free data for a period of 5 days.

Mobile internet was shut down on the night of July 17 last year during the anti-discrimination student movement demanding reform of the quota system in government jobs. 

The next day, on the night of July 18, broadband internet was also shut down. As a result, the country was completely without internet. 

Keeping that in mind, an initiative has been taken to provide 1 GB internet data free of cost to mobile subscribers on the occasion of the first anniversary of the mass uprising.
