Lost Smartphones Recovered, Returned to Owners by Courier
Imagine you lose your phone.
Now, the government has a system to help get it back!
It's called CEIR, and it's part of a portal called Sanchar Saathi.
When you report your phone lost, the system blocks it, so the person who has it can't use it.
This also helps the police find it.
Recently, police in Ghaziabad found a lot of lost phones, and the owners got them back!
You can report your lost phone on the Sanchar Saathi website.
It's like a secret agent system for your phone!
Lost smartphones are being returned to owners via courier.
The government's CEIR system facilitates reporting and recovery of lost devices.
Users can block their lost phones through the Sanchar Saathi portal.
Blocking IMEI numbers makes the phones unusable, deterring illegal activity.
Ghaziabad police recovered nearly 1,200 smartphones using the CEIR system.
