Telangana has emerged as the top-performing state in India for recovering lost and stolen mobile phones via the CEIR (Central Equipment Identity Register) portal. Since its extension to Telangana in April 2023, the state has successfully recovered over 1 lakh devices, with Hyderabad alone accounting for nearly 15,000 recoveries. This achievement highlights Telangana’s effective integration of technology with law enforcement, active citizen participation, and strong public awareness campaigns. The CEIR portal allows authorities to block, trace, and return stolen devices, enhancing both personal data security and overall crime reduction.
