Planning to attend the Ganpati immersion procession with thousands of people?  Participating in the festivities can come with risks, including losing your phone in a crowded area. Try to keep your phones secure and be alert if someone bumps, pushes or distracts you in the crowd. If you still lose your phone, take the following steps to protect yourself from financial loss. 

Notify your network operator

With mobile and digital banking, your phone provides access to banking, payment, and personal data. To prevent a major financial loss, immediately inform your mobile network provider to block your SIM card. This will prevent the SIM from being misused for frauds.
