India bans import of Chinese Mobile sets
New Delhi, Jun 18: Indian Government has banned the import of Chinese made mobile phone, along with dairy products and toys.
Apart from the fact that these mobile sets come without unique identity code numbers; the moves may also be a fallout of the conflict between both countries on the WTO arena.
Approximately eight lakh mobile phones without International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, are being imported from China every month. Without the IMEI number these phones are tough to track.
These sets are much more cheaper than others and is the favourite choice for those who want to indulge in criminal or even terrorist activities as it can not be tracked.
