Trai — spam sms from unknown senders like "ad-midcap"

My Mobiles number is +[protected]BSNL). I am an active shares investor. I am being flooded by spam SMSes advising me to invest in shares, to invest in flats, etc. These SMSes are sent to my number which has been registered for DND. On contacting BSNL on an earlier occasion a few months back, I have been informed that these SMSes were originated from other Service Providers and BSNL has no control over the same.

SPAM SMS Example:

Date of SMS : 31 Jan 2018

My mobile number is being floodded with such SMS regularly from senders - AD-MIDCAP, AM-MVMAKS, AF-ICISEC, AM-STAXIS, ADSMCSEC, AD-EQUITY, AD-MONYMR, AD-HDFSEC, AD-ANGLES, AM-SHKHAN, AM-ANLGBN, HP-HNITIP, IM-TRADEO, AM-CAPSTR, AM-SHRMKT, AM-WLGAIN, AM-SMCSEC, AM-KOTAKS, HP-IMMTPS, etc.

Most of these messages try to induce me to invest in small cap shares worth nothing, in turn boost the demand for those shares and increase the price of those shares.

I request you

1. to order service providers to generally/universally block such senders without proper sender's numbers.
2. to order the Registrars and Transfer agents of Company Shares not to provide them the share holders' mobile numbers to anybody/any identity.
3. to probe with these SMS senders about the source of their getting these mobile numbers like mine and to block these sources.

If there are any other remedies to block such SMSes, I request such steps may be taken from your side.
