CHENNAI
Rail Passengers are requested to furnish IMEI number of Mobile Handsets while lodging complaints for loss/theft of mobile phones
In connection with complaints lodged for loss/theft of mobile phones by rail passengers over Southern Railway,Railway Protection Force (RPF) or Government Railway Police (GRP) could not take any immediate steps to trace the lost mobiles as the complainants are not furnishing the 15 Digit IMEI number of the Mobile Handset at the time of lodging complaints.
The 15 digit IMEI number is easily accessible through dialling *#06*  from each Mobile Handset.  It is felt that furnishing of IMEI number of the mobile handset at the time of lodging complaint will help police in many angles to track and trace the mobile handsets and also to arrest the culprits.
Therefore, Rail users are requested to record and furnish IMEI number of the lost mobile handset at the time of lodging complaints in connection with loss/theft of mobile phones.

IRCTC plans insurance cover for mobiles,Laptops

Buoyed by the success of the 92-paise travel insurance policy for passengers, IRCTC is now planning to launch another scheme for passengers' gadgets like mobile phones and laptops.

The first round of meeting in this regard was held between IRCTC officials and insurance companies, IRCTC Chairman and Managing Director A K Manocha said.

"There are some concerns that insurance companies have about false claims. We have shared a few ideas with them and also asked for their suggestions. Offering this policy to credit card holders or government officials in the initial stage is one of the ideas we have floated to mitigate cases of false claims," he said.

Manocha wishes to make this scheme available both in cases of rail accidents as well as of thefts.

He said, "I am trying hard to push companies to give insurance cover in instances of theft as well. So far, they have expressed their willingness to offer it only in cases of mishaps."

The proposal follows the success of the travel insurance scheme launched by IRCTC last month.

Already over one crore passengers have opted for it.

The policy unveiled last month offers insurance cover of up to Rs 10 lakh for a premium of 92 paise in case of accidents or an untoward incident like terrorist attack, dacoity, rioting, shootout or arson.

To promote this scheme during the festive season, IRCTC has in fact decided to reduce the premium from 92 paise to 1 paisa for tickets booked between October 7 and October 31 as part of its Diwali bonanza.
