The cyber teams and surveillance cells of various police stations across the district played a crucial role in tracking down the missing mobile phones. According to information received, this campaign is ongoing, and a total of 3,880 mobile phones have been recovered under its purview from January 2026 to October 2026. The cumulative estimated value of all these recovered phones exceeds Rs 7 crore 76 lakh 20 thousand.

Cyber teams from 23 police stations that achieved the target of 100 percent mobile recovery in October were honored with cash prizes and certificates of appreciation. These awarded teams, including those from Barela, Bithri Chainpur, and Kotwali, each received a cash prize of one thousand rupees and a certificate.
The proactive approach and effective use of technology by the police have brought immense relief to citizens who had lost hope after losing their valuable mobile phones. This technological application in swiftly resolving public grievances is also proving instrumental in enhancing public trust in the police.
