DoT Activates Intra-Circle Roaming in Four Arunachal Districts Amid Telecom Disruptions
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has activated intra-circle roaming (ICR) in four Arunachal Pradesh districts—Keyi Panyor, Lower Subansiri, Upper Subansiri, and West Siang—until June 28 to maintain mobile connectivity amid disruptions caused by heavy rainfall, flash floods, and landslides. Damage to telecom infrastructure, including the NEEPCO exchange and optical fibre cables, has hampered communication and relief efforts. Restoration teams are working to repair networks, while ICR allows subscribers to connect to any available network, aiding residents and emergency personnel.
