We are working tirelessly to restore the communications infrastructure and therefore will remain committed towards maintaining uninterrupted coverage in the affected areas as well as the rest of the state.”

A total of 550 people from Indus and operator companies in Chennai, Coimbatore and each affected zone, are working together on the ground and constantly monitoring the situation. Apart from ensuring minimum downtime and restoring network availability, Indus is also working with the state and local authorities towards restoring normalcy to everyday life in the region.
