Gujarat police have announced that they have successfully recovered 50.75% of lost mobile phones reported in the state, according to a recent statement. The recovery figure places Gujarat second among major Indian states in terms of mobile phone retrieval.
The data, released by the state’s cybercrime cell, shows a significant improvement in the efficiency of the recovery process. Officials attribute the success to enhanced coordination between local police stations and the use of advanced tracking software.
