New Delhi, Dec 2: Union Minister for Communications Jyotiraditya Scindia today clarified the Sanchar Saathi App mandate, emphasising that Sanchar Saathi is completely democratic and fully voluntary.
He added that users can activate the app at their convenience to access its benefits, and they may deactivate or delete it from their devices at any time.
Scindia highlighted that protecting consumers is the government’s foremost responsibility, and Sanchar Saathi has been designed to empower every mobile user.
“Sanchar Saathi is both an app and a portal that enables citizens to secure themselves through transparent, easy-to-use tools. It is a significant step toward Jan Bhagidari, where citizens actively participate in protecting their own digital ecosystem,” he said.
Sanchar Saathi allows users to report suspected fraud directly from call logs, enabling informed citizens to actively protect less-aware users.
Scindia said, “Digital security for every citizen is our topmost priority. Sanchar Saathi is voluntary, transparent, and designed solely to protect India’s mobile consumers while advancing the nation’s cybersecurity. Users have complete freedom to activate, or delete the app at any time, ensuring safety without compromising privacy."
