I think when i port my Airtel sim into jio, the older user of this number before i get this number from retailer some in my area last year of that number maybe or may not used this sim for other's activity.

First you mentioned you ported to Jio

another sentence you mentioned you get this number.

Don't you think there is contradiction between these two?

Let me explain what was happened, I had Airtel sim from last 1 year, when i switch my bank account, i came to know, it was someone else number before that linked to bank in other state.

So, i decided to port my number into Jio. After 3 days of porting process. Jio send me that message don't use your number for making any telemarketing calls or spam but it also mentioned in the end, this is advisory messenger as per TRAI Rules.

I had another Jio number that never had received this type of text message from Jio. I think Jio only send to those who do port from other network for just an information.

Now i want to stop this number coz this number is not being good for myself, i think so.

Telcos have informed the regulator that while their systems are ready to implement the mandate from November 1, telemarketers and PEs need more time to complete activities at their end. On their part, the PEs are pushing for a two-month deadline extension to complete the activity.
