RPF tracing lost mobile phones using CEIR portal

way2barak, May 22: Tracing stolen and lost mobile phones from trains and railway premises has now become easier for Railway Protection Force (RPF) of NFR. Once passenger reports their lost/theft mobile phones in the Rail Madad App; Cyber Crime Wing of NFR facilitates tracing the mobile with the help of Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) portal of Department of Telecommunications (DoT). As of now, the portal will help in tracing such lost devices across telecom service networks of Assam.

Principal Chief Security Commissioner (PCSC)/NFR coordinated with Local police & Law Enforcing Agencies of Guwahati and chalked out the access plan for CEIR for N. F. Railway. Representative from PCSC office of NFR coordinated with concerned officials of the Ministry of Communication at New Delhi. After detailed discussion and justification, access to CEIR portal was given to RPF/NFR for Assam state as a pilot project.  A User Id and Password was generated in favour of CSC/NFR by DoT, through CEIR official in coordination with CID-HQ/Assam.

Rampant incidences of cell-phone thefts from within train compartments and on railway premises have emerged as a serious concern, putting a strain on the resources of RPF. Despite the best efforts to apprehend the criminals; the RPF/NFR approach often appears sporadic and lacks systematic institutional support. To overcome this, the access to CEIR portal will play a major role in dealing with such type of menace.
