  "account": "The Pampa police have retrieved over 70 mobile phones belonging to Sabarimala pilgrims, according to a special recovery drive conducted in September. These devices were identified through the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) portal, which allows for the registration and blocking of lost phones. The owners of the recovered phones, who are spread across eight different states, were informed via phone calls or served with notices. After this, the phones were collected from various states and brought to the Pampa police station. Currently, the total value of the recovered phones is estimated to be more than ₹10 lakh. The police are sending the devices back to their rightful owners via parcel.",
