Sanchaar Saathi Portal: The Sanchar Sathi portal of the Government of India is proving to be a game-changer in locating lost and stolen mobile phones. In just 30 days of October, this platform has found more than 50,000 phones. Karnataka and Telangana are at the forefront in terms of mobile recovery, where more than 1 lakh phones have been recovered. The rapidly increasing recovery rate shows that losing a mobile phone is no longer as difficult a problem as it used to be.
Karnataka and Telangana are at the forefront
Statistics show that Karnataka and Telangana are the most active states in the country in terms of mobile recovery. More than 1 lakh lost or stolen phones have been recovered at both the places, which is much more than other states. Maharashtra is in third place, where the police has traced more than 80 thousand mobiles. Police teams of these states are making high-frequency use of the Sanchar Sathi portal, which is continuously resulting in huge recoveries.
Why the use of Sanchar Saathi portal is increasing
There has been a sharp increase in the number of complaints registered on this portal in the last few months. Government agencies of Bengaluru and Hyderabad are advising people to use this platform first in case their mobile is lost or stolen. Police departments of states are able to track thousands of devices every day through this portal. The 47% jump in recovery of lost mobile phones between June and October is a result of this increasing usage.
How to track a stolen or lost phone
According to the report, as soon as the stolen phone is switched on again and a new SIM is inserted in it, the system immediately sends an alert to the police. After that, with the help of location and network data, the phone is recovered within a few hours. In many cases, theft gangs have also been caught after phones were recovered, which exposed the organized network. This is why Sanchar Sathi is becoming the most trusted mobile tracking platform across the country.
How to file a complaint: Complete process in two steps
If your mobile phone is lost, then first of all you have to lodge a complaint in the nearest police station. After getting the FIR or GD number, you can go to sancharsaathi.gov.in portal and file a complaint. After registering the complaint, you get a Request ID, with the help of which you can track the entire process of phone recovery. This system is completely digital and significantly increases the chances of mobile return.
