COAI welcomes launch of Sanchar Saathi portal

Lt. Gen. Dr S P Kochhar, Director General of Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), has welcomed the launch of Sanchar Saathi portal.

“On behalf of the Indian telecom industry, we welcome the launch of the Sanchar Saathi portal and congratulate the Government on taking this citizen-centric initiative that will go a long way in empowering mobile subscribers across the country and ensuring the safety and security of their mobile devices. The Sanchar Saathi portal presents a great example of digital technology-based solutions being implemented to facilitate the telecom users across the country. The various modules of the portal, such as CEIR and TAFCOP with features like Know your Mobile and use of ASTR will help in reducing the incidents of mobile phone thefts and detect anomalies to help identify and prevent misuse/frauds,” Kochhar said in a statement.

“Citizens will be able to know the mobile connections issued in their name, get unrequired connections disconnected, block/trace lost mobile phones and check the genuineness of devices while buying a new/old mobile phone. We compliment the Union Minister of Communications and the Department of Telecommunications for this splendid initiative that is focused on making the Indian telecom sector a global benchmark for user security and safety. We look forward to collaborating with the Government in ensuring the success of this initiative and contributing towards a secure and safe telecom ecosystem in India,’’ he added.
