BANDIPORA: As part of its continued and sustained efforts to strengthen public safety and communication security, Police in Bandipora launched a comprehensive inspection drive of SIM card vendors across the district. The drive is aimed at preventing the misuse of SIM cards for any criminal, fraudulent, or terror-related activities and ensuring strict compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) guidelines and telecom regulations.

Police teams from all Police Stations and Police Posts conducted detailed inspections of SIM card vendors operating within their respective jurisdictions. During the inspections, emphasis was laid on verifying identity proofs, maintaining proper records, and ensuring that SIM cards are issued only to genuine subscribers with valid documentation.

Any vendor found violating regulatory norms will face strict legal action, including penalties, cancellation of license, or prosecution under relevant laws. The general public has been requested to extend full cooperation during these inspections and to ensure that SIM cards registered in their names are not misused. Citizens are also urged to report any suspicious activity or irregular issuance of SIM cards to the nearest police station.

J&K Police remains committed to safeguarding the integrity of communication networks and maintaining public trust by preventing their exploitation for unlawful or anti-national activities.
