In a sustained and comprehensive effort to curb the misuse of SIM cards by terrorists, their associates, and criminal networks, Anantnag Police today launched a massive crackdown across the District. Multiple teams carried out simultaneous inspections of SIM card vendors at various locations to ensure strict adherence to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) guidelines.
