GANDERBAL: In a significant move to crack down on the misuse of SIM cards and to ensure strict adherence to verification norms, J&K Police conducted surprise raids at various SIM card vendor outlets across the district Ganderbal.

The operation was carried out under the supervision of SSP Ganderbal, Shri Khalil Ahmad Poswal–JKPS, with the objective of verifying the authenticity of SIM issuance and preventing the circulation of fake or fraudulently obtained SIM cards that could potentially be misused for unlawful activities.

During the inspections, police teams thoroughly scrutinized customer verification records, sale registers, and other documentation maintained by the vendors in the Jurisdiction of Police Station Safapora, Police Station Ganderbal, Police Station Kheerbawani, Police Station Gund, Police Post Gutlibagh, Police Post Nagbal and Police Post Shadipora. The drive also aimed to ensure strict compliance with guidelines and procedures by all service providers and their retailers.

Vendors found violating norms or failing to maintain proper verification records have been warned of strict legal action under relevant laws. The inspection teams also sensitized the vendors about the legal consequences of issuing SIM cards without proper verification. J&K Police has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining public safety and security by preventing the misuse of mobile connectivity for anti-social or criminal activities.
