If your phone is lost or stolen, there’s no need to worry. The Government of India has taken a significant step towards addressing mobile phone theft and protecting consumer interests with the launch of the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) web portal (ceir.gov.in). To inform and train law enforcement agencies on utilizing this portal effectively, a one-day workshop was organized by Indian Telecom officials at the State Crime Branch Headquarters for CCTNS and Cyber Cell officials.The workshop targeted Cyber Cell and CCTNS officers of the state, providing them with valuable insights into reporting mobile theft or loss on the CEIR portal and how the investigating agencies can leverage it.The CEIR portal offers an important feature where users can immediately block their stolen or lost mobile phones, preventing unauthorized access and misuse of personal data. Additionally, the public can conveniently register complaints from the comfort of their homes and track the status of their complaints on the portal. ADGP Crime Haryana, Sh. O.P. Singh, while addressing the attendees, emphasized that a “CEIR desk” will be established in every district to assist those with limited technological knowledge. This desk will upload data of lost or stolen mobile phones in the district onto the portal, aiding the efforts to curb the counterfeit mobile phone market and discourage thefts. The State Crime Branch will also receive monthly reports on this matter.In the workshop, Deputy Director General Asit Kadian and Assistant Director General Sachin from the Department of Telecom were present in the workshop.Moreover, the State Crime Branch Chief Sh. OP Singh acknowledged the cooperation of the Indian Department of Telecom and highlighted that the general public will be made aware of the portal’s launch to encourage immediate reporting of lost or stolen mobile devices. The portal allows users to block their phones by entering the IMEI number or unblock them if needed.To integrate the CEIR portal with CCTNS (Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems), testing is underway, and the data will soon be synchronized. This integration will enable seamless sharing of data with other institutions. The state police are committed to creating awareness among the public about this facility operated by the Government of India and will conduct programs in each district to achieve this objective.For individuals who have lost their mobile phones, reporting the incident on the CEIR portal involves a few simple steps. First, they need to register an FIR at the nearest police station and obtain a duplicate SIM card from their telecom service provider. Then, by providing the mobile number/IMEI number on the CEIR Grievance Online Registration Form (https://ceir.gov.in/Request/CeirUserBlockRequestDirect.jsp), they can block the handset from accessing any mobile network in the future.For those unfamiliar with the portal, a CEIR desk will soon be set up for mobile-related complaints. Trained staff at these desks will assist the general public in registering their complaints on the portal and taking appropriate action after receiving the calls.

Now, Gulab’s grandparents will get an amount of Rs. 4000 under the sponsor scheme. Not only this, the Chief Minister has also ensured his (gulab) grandparents that even in future, if needed, all possible help will be given to the family.

        Meanwhile, this is the second such incident wherein the Jan Samvad turned into a golden opportunity for the elderly as earlier, the Chief Minister while addressing a Samvad programme in Ateli on July 28 had handed over the pension certificate to an elderly in just one hour.

        The Chief Minister announced to fulfill almost all the demands raised before him by the villagers of Jarthal village. He approved a proposal to construct an animal dispensary as per the prescribed norms, a Vyayamshalas if the land is provided, the construction of two rooms in the primary school, and the construction of a new building for the health centre.

He said that the state government has no dearth of funds for development works.

        Sh. Manohar Lal said that in the last 9 years, development work has been done by the central and state government in Haryana without any discrimination. Apart from this, a digitalized system has been implemented by making the benefits of public welfare schemes online, so that the common man can get the benefits while sitting at home.

        He said that in comparison to the development works done by the previous governments in 10 years, the BJP government in the state has done development works at double the speed during its tenure.

        In the previous governments, only 30 percent of the money coming for development works was spent, but the BJP government in the state has worked to bring transparency in the development works, said Sh. Manohar Lal.

Till now Rs. 50,000 crores have been deposited in the account of the farmers, not only the farmers have benefited from this, but also the government has saved Rs. 1500 crore through these digital transactions by eliminating the middlemen and ghost beneficiaries, said Sh.
