Unexpected high bill due to unauthorized SIM plan usage. What to do?

1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I need your help regarding my SIM Plan. When I signed up for the plan, I specifically requested to use my own number since it's with the same network. The agent agreed, and I provided my ID and signed the documents.
He informed me that I had to activate it before I could use it. However, when I attempted to activate it, it did not proceed, and I assumed that I didn't have a plan.
I did not contact the agent because I thought that since it was not activated, I would not be charged for anything.
After a few months had passed, I began to receive bills, and someone was paying for the plan. I then inquired as to why I had a plan when it wasn't activated. That's when I discovered that another person was using the plan under my name, and I had to pay to cancel it.
I don't know who that person is, but the agent informed me that I had to pay for it because it was under my name.
The amount reached over a thousand because the person did not pay.
Could you please assist me with this situation?
I am really confused and don't know what to do.

The maximum notice period employers can put in the contract as per the new labor law 0
Our internal contract has a notice period of 3 months from both parties. In the new labor implementation, only one month's notice is required for less than 5 years of service.
Please advise if we can follow our internal contract since the position is very curtailed and the organization will not be able to replace the position within one month.

Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law 2
Dear sir/madam,
Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law.
Can you please clarify the correct annual leave salary rules?
Some say it is basic + HRA for the month you will take off, others say it is full salary, and somewhere I read it is basic + HRA (annual leave salary) plus the normal salary you get.
Can you please clarify?
Thanks for your valuable time and kind assistance!
