Section 144 imposed

Chandigarh, April 11th, 2016: It has been observed that the SIM card vendors in the city of Chandigarh are selling SIM cards of all cellular companies to the people without seeing the original ID’s of the purchasers and without getting the verification of the documents, physical verification of person’s address, done. The vendors issue SIM cards to the buyers by filling up Performa of the cellular company and the same is sent to the company. The company activates the SIM without making any physical verification of the documents/address of the customers. The SIM cards are sold to distributors by the cellular company and the distributor further sold these to shopkeepers without maintaining the record as to which numbers are sold to which shopkeeper. Further, the shopkeeper has kept vendors to sellout the SIM cards directly to the customers.
                                        
It has also come to the notice that many times criminals and anti-social elements procure mobile SIM cards on fake identity and therefore can cause social disturbance and pose a threat to peace and tranquility through their un-lawful activities and go un-noticed due to their fake identities.
