Airtel's AI-powered network solution has enabled customers in Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh to bid farewell to spam calls and SMSes

Chandigarh, October 14, 2024:* Bharti Airtel's new AI-powered spam detection system has provided much-needed relief to customers in Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. In the 18 days since its launch, this pioneering telecom solution has successfully identified 157 million potential spam calls and 3 million spam SMS messages in these states.

All Airtel mobile customers in the state can now have automatic access to the free solution without needing to request service or download an app.

Commenting on the launch, Pushpinder Singh Gujral, Chief Executive Officer, Upper North, Bharti Airtel, said, “In the ever-evolving digital world, customers face growing threats from scams and fraud, leaving many feeling vulnerable. To address this urgent challenge, Airtel has introduced an innovative AI-powered solution. This groundbreaking technology actively identifies suspected spam calls and messages, empowering Airtel's 35 million strong customer base in Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. Through this initiative, Airtel reaffirms its commitment to customer safety, setting a new industry standard as a dependable partner dedicated to the security and peace of mind of its users”.

Developed in-house by Airtel’s data scientists, the AI-powered solution uses a proprietary algorithm to identify and classify calls and SMSes as "Suspected Spam". The network powered by a state-of-the-art AI algorithm analyses various parameters such as the caller or sender's usage patterns, call/SMS frequency and call duration amongst several others, on a real time basis. By cross-referencing this information against known spam patterns, the system flags suspected spam calls and SMSes accurately.  

A dual-layered protection, the solution has two filters – one at the network layer and the second at the IT systems layer. Every call and SMS passes through this dual-layered AI shield. In two milliseconds the solution processes 1.5 billion messages and 2.5 billion calls. This is equivalent to processing 1 trillion records on a real time basis using the power of AI.

Additionally, the solution also alerts customers to malicious links received via SMS. For this, Airtel has built a centralized database of blacklisted URLs and every SMS is scanned in real time by a state-of-the-art AI algorithm to caution users from accidently clicking on suspicious links. The solution can also detect anomalies such as frequent IMEI changes – a typical indicator of fraudulent behaviour. By layering these protective measures, the company is ensuring its customers receive the maximum level of defence against the evolving landscape of spam and fraud threats.

Note to media : 

The Government of India (GoI) has allocated 10-digit numbers with the prefix 160 to for service and transactional calls. Customers can expect to receive calls from these 160-prefix series assigned to Banks, Mutual Funds, Insurance Companies, Stockbrokers, other financial institutions, Corporates, Enterprises, SMEs, big and small businesses used for making transactional and service calls.  

Additionally, those customers who have not opted for Do-not-disturb (DND) or have subscribed to receiving promotional calls will continue to receive them from a 10-digit number with the prefix 140.

Youth Congress's attack in the country under the campaign "Give jobs, not give drugs"

Chandigarh: Chandigarh Youth Congress will start the *Give jobs, not give drugs* program campaign. Youth Congress President Deepak Lubana gave this information in a press conference. He said that discussions have been held regarding the success of the upcoming program *Give jobs, not give drugs*. It will be run in urban and rural areas. At present, unemployment is at its peak in the country. The youth of the country are going in the wrong direction. *Give jobs, not give drugs* campaign will be run across the country under the leadership of Youth Congress National President Uday Bhanu Chib. There will be a demonstration in Delhi on the 16th.

During this, Congress President HS Lucky said that such a big drug factory was being operated in Bhopal and the government and administration were not even aware of it. Gujarat police comes and takes action. What is the BJP government and police of MP doing? It is clearly coming to light that the favorite workers of Deputy CM Jagdish Devda are involved in this business. This entire business was flourishing in MP under his protection. We demand that Jagdish Devda should resign from his post on moral grounds. Because, if he remains the Deputy Chief Minister, he can influence the investigation to save his favourite people.

Youth Congress in-charge Satyawan Gehlot said that the Prime Minister and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will have to make it clear to the youth whether they are with the drug mafia or with the youth of the country. They should immediately dismiss Jagdish Devda from the post. It is not right for Devda ji to remain in the post till the investigation is going on to maintain its impartiality.

Thank you

*Deepak Lubana*

Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria attended the third day of Shrimad Bhagwat Katha and Vrindavan Prakat Utsav

Indresh Maharaj mesmerized the devotees by narrating the story

Chandigarh, 9 October 2024

Vrindavan Prakat Utsav and Shrimad Bhagwat Katha are being organized at the Mela Ground of Sector 34 under the aegis of Shri Krishna Priya Ju Sankirtan Mandal, which will continue till October 13.

Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria attended the third day of the Katha today. On this occasion, the organizers of the program B Praak and Munish Bajaj gave a grand welcome to the Governor and Motivational Speaker Jaya Kishori. After that, the Katha started with Radha Raman Hari Bol with full rituals.

World famous Katha Vyas Param Pujya Shri Indresh Maharaj said that Chandigarh has now become Vrindavan due to the efforts of singer B Prak. He said that the place where worship is done, that land becomes worthy of worship. The land in Chandigarh where Puja is being performed today will become worthy of worship after seven days. He said that the place of worship is already chosen by Mahadev. He said that now big leaders of the saint community will also come to this Katha. He also promised to come next year.

Param Pujya Shri Indresh Maharaj told about Gopi Nath ji in the story narration. He said that lucky people get to listen to satsang and we should apply the things heard in satsang in our life. He told that earlier there was only one Veda, but Ved Vyas ji wrote four Vedas. Earlier, all the questions were answered by pronouncing the word Om, but when Kalyug came, the rest of the Vedas were written. He said that four things have been written in them. First, how to follow religion. Second, how to get salvation. Third, we should do only that work which gives satisfaction and fourth, saint and spring both come in the same way. When spring comes, nature improves and when saint comes, people improve.

On this occasion, Swami Ram ji Maharaj thanked Chandigarh for making Vrindavan Dham. He said that B Praak sings film songs, but now his world has changed. Now Radha Rani and Lord Krishna are everything for him. He said that B Prak has made Radha Radha in Bollywood also.

On this occasion, singer B Prak told that the famous saints of the country are reaching this Bhagwat Katha. He said that well-known religious gurus including Pujya Swami Kailash Nand Giri Ji Maharaj Mahamandaleshwar Niranjan Akhara Parishad, Chitralekha, Dhirendra Krishna Shastri (Bageshwar Sarkar), Manoj Mohan Shastri Ji, Mohit Murali Ji, Gurudev Bhagwan Ji and Aniruddhacharya are reaching the program.

Singer B Praak while paying his respects to all the saints said that I am very fortunate that I have got the opportunity to organize this program and serve great saints.
