Blocking imei not equals to getting mobile back. Believe me Even location is turned on along with internet connection, it is still very hard to find it. Sometimes I hide my brother’s mobile, he just can’t find it.
Looks like your brother isn’t aware of this – https://myaccount.google.com/find-your-phone...de
He can track where you hide his mobile with this service 
Ring and Locate
Article only says “this is how we block the handsets from accessing the network”
How’s this gonna get the lost phone back 
that imei will get blocked for sure, but your handset will be sold with new imei, govt can’t do anything about this.
Is it April 1st today? LOL
1st april: April fools day
Indian govt: Hold my calendar 
Can you please keep your political shit out of D&D. Its a great move if get implemented.
Nowadays, thieves disassemble our mobile and sell the parts like battery, display,etc. So no use of this CEIR. If we lost our phone in India, forget it and move on. Even police won’t help. This CEIR was in testing phase in Pune from 2017. But I haven’t heard about it in last 2 years. Whose lost phones were they tracking in testing phase that too with BSNL. With limited network range of BSNL, how can they test their pilot project.
Not just phone, they do it for everything these days 🙃
Here in Bangalore, there’s an area called “JC road*”. Here they dismantle stolen bikes n sell the spares . You can even find the sparess for High end Duke bikes there
Tech journalism is a joke in India. Specially from big news networks. Their journalists don’t ever have a slightest idea about what is the actual news and what are they reporting.
OP mentioned a number 14422. Just tried calling, it gets disconnect. 
Anything for laptops? 
Why don’t you team up with some software engineer and develope an app to track laptops. Just like google does. As every laptop has one serial number embedded onto motherboard
Dhandha bhi badh jayega aur laptop bhi bach jayenge bhot.
I’m wondering how does govt. plan to mint money from this move? So far, all their policies have been focused only on extracting money from common folks.
Did I miss some fine print?
Can you say what “exactly” are the policies that are just there not to help but are just intended to mint money from people?
with how useless the police here is back home, unless you’ve connections, they won’t lift a finger even if someone’s murdered and there is video proof 😑
Instead of blocking the IMEI, they should track the phone. Since, anytime you place a call, the cell towers can locate your approximate location. I guess they can use this, but it will place a lot of overhead on cellular companies….
Kon se sapne dikha rahe ho @Awake bhai…
