Srinagar, Nov 7: In a sustained effort to curb the misuse of SIM cards by terrorists, their associates, and criminal networks, Sopore Police on Friday launched a coordinated crackdown across the Police District.
Multiple teams carried out simultaneous inspections of SIM vendors at various locations to ensure strict adherence to Department of Telecommunications (DoT) guidelines.
The special drive focused on verifying customer documentation, KYC procedures, and vendor licensing compliance to prevent fraudulent SIM issuance. Vendors were counselled about their legal obligations and cautioned against negligence or violations of regulatory norms.
The initiative forms part of Sopore Police’s proactive measures to prevent the use of SIM cards in terror communication, cybercrime, online fraud, impersonation, and misinformation campaigns — thereby ensuring that communication systems remain secure and transparent.
Reaffirming its commitment to public and national security, Sopore Police said it will continue to maintain vigilance against any activity threatening peace and stability in the region.
