The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has enabled intra-circle roaming in four districts of Arunachal Pradesh. This is only for a period of three days, till June 28, 2026. This will ensure that the citizens in the area keep getting access to seamless mobile network connectivity. The region is witnessing heavy rainfall, cloudbursts, and landlsides. All of these end up damaging the terrestrial mobile network infrastructure. So if you are with a telecom operator, for example, Jio, and the mobile sites get damanged, you will end up losing access to mobile networks. This could be catastrophic, especially in emergency situations.
However, the intra-circle roaming (ICR) allows for people to stay connected to the mobile networks of other telecom operators. For this, the citizens do not need to pay anything extra to the telcos or the government. ICR has been enabled in Keyi Panyor, Lower Subansiri, Upper Subansiri and West Siang districts.
DoT said that the flash floods have damanged the NEEPCO telecom exchange at Posa in Yazali. The rainfall continues to happen, and it can take time before the infrastructure is brought back up. Restoration teams are already working to restore the services as soon as possible. ICR will keep the communication channels open for the citizens, which is one of the most dire needs in emergency situations.
