AGARTALA| OCTOBER 21,2025| SKY LINK TIMES|
In a commendable citizen-service initiative, the West Agartala Police Station on Monday handed over 30 recovered mobile phones to their rightful owners. The devices had been stolen in various incidents registered over the past few months across West Tripura district.
The recovery operation was executed under the leadership of Officer-in-Charge (OC) Rana Chatterjee, with close supervision from Superintendent of Police (SP) Namit Pathak and the Additional SP. The formal handover ceremony took place at the West Agartala Police Station premises in the presence of police officials and beneficiaries.
According to officials, out of the total recovered handsets, 16 were traced through the Central IMEI Register (CIR) system — a digital database that helps law enforcement agencies track and identify stolen devices efficiently.
