Since the CIER portal was launched, 757 requests been filed for the lost mobile phones, .While 200 were traced, 120 mobile phones were found and handed over to the rightful owners.
Whoever has lost a mobile phone can send a HI message to WhatsApp number +918277949183. Soon after sending the HI message, the concerned person will receive a link to fill in the form and submit to get the lost mobile phone back.
The person need not visit the police station, and can fill the form about the details of the lost phone from any place. The chatbot service will be more convenient to the public. The concerned complainant should belong to Mangaluru city police limits. They can drop a WhatsApp message from anywhere. The complainant should know their mobile phone’s IMEI number.
Another initiative taken up by the city police is feedback system by scanning QR code. The QR code is set up in police stations and reception areas and pamphlets regarding the same have been distributed. One can scan the QR code and share their opinion, complaints or suggestion after their visit to the police stations.
