RSD-Sircilla news: A cell phone recovery fair was organized at the district police office and 63 phones worth about Rs. 6 lakhs, which were lost or stolen in the district in the last few days, were recovered from various parts of our state as well as neighboring states and were handed over to the owners of the respective mobile phones on 25.02.2026  by the hands of the district SP. Speaking on this occasion, the SP said that nowadays, we cannot do even a small transaction without a mobile phone, and criminals who know that we save our valuable information like bank accounts and passwords on our mobile phones are stealing mobile phones, breaking weak passwords and making money through PhonePe, Google Pay and other means.
