Mysore/Mysuru: At least 115 mobile phones that were stolen or lost have been traced and 25 were returned to their owners, thanks to the Central Equipment Identity Registry (CEIR) system. This complaining mechanism provides for deactivating the stolen devices and alerts the Police whenever an attempt is made to use them.
The mobile phones were handed over to its owners by City Police Commissioner Ramesh Banoth at his office this morning. The phones were traced by the Cybercrime, Economic offences and Narcotics (CEN) Police wing with the help of CEIR portal — ceir.gov.in — of the Union Department of Telecommunications (DOT), said the Police Commissioner.
