DoT wireless wing cracks down on illegal signal boosters in Delhi

The wireless monitoring wing of the Department of Telecom has brought down over 48 mobile signal boosters in Connaught Place area of the national capital, a senior official of the department said on Monday.

The Wireless Monitoring Organisation is continuing with raids and awareness campaigns in other parts of Delhi to bring down illegal devices that deteriorate mobile signals around places where they are installed.

“We have been able to find 48 illegal mobile signal boosters in Connaught Place. People are generally not aware that these devices are illegal. They immediately surrendered when we informed them. In fact, people have been very cooperative during the drive,” International Monitoring Station Engineer-in-charge Devendra Kumar Rai told PTI.
