Temporarily I use an app named "Pulse SMS" to get rid of flash messages.

@vishalrao yes i got option to save it , someone told me to save the message and put it in blocklist , but the thing is messages are coming from AW-AIRTEL-S , hence i cant block it coz its not a number

I have put a mail to airtel escalation team , lets see if they can do something
