Srinagar, Sept 28: Police conducted a comprehensive inspection of SIM card vendors across Budgam district to prevent misuse and enhance public safety. The initiative aimed to ensure strict compliance with guidelines for SIM card sales and activations, a police spokesperson said in a statement issued here. Special Police teams were deployed to check vendors' adherence to the Know Your Customer (KYC) norms, documentation processes and regulations set by the Department of Telecommunications. The inspections are aimed at ensuring that SIM cards are issued only after proper verification and to curb fraudulent practices. During the drive, vendors were reminded of the mandatory guidelines, which include biometric Aadhaar verification for both vendors and customers, physical presence of customers during SIM issuance, activation only after alternate number confirmation, prohibition of pre-activated SIMs, maintenance of CCTV footage at outlets and electronic billing systems. Police reiterated their commitment to intensifying such drives and working closely with telecom authorities to strengthen security protocols in the district. Police have requested the public to report any suspicious activities or irregularities concerning SIM card sales or usage. This collaborative effort aims to enhance the security and safety of the citizens, the spokesperson said.
