India shuts down 2.1 million spam numbers using public reports via TRAI’s DND App.

India's telecom regulator TRAI has disconnected over 2.1 million numbers and blacklisted around 100,000 entities linked to spam and fraud, citing public reports via the TRAI DND App as critical to the crackdown. The app allows authorities to trace and permanently shut down scam numbers, unlike local device blocking. TRAI urges all users, especially seniors and less tech-savvy individuals, to report spam, avoid sharing personal info, hang up on suspicious calls, and use the National Cybercrime Helpline (1930) or cybercrime.gov.in for fraud reports.
