Airtel, Jio, Vi, BSNL begin implementing emergency protocols amid India-Pakistan tension

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated as Pakistan attempted to target several Indian cities with missiles and drones last evening. The Indian Armed Forces effectively defended these cities by neutralizing all incoming threats and retaliated with significant force. In response to the attacks, Indian telecom operators, including Jio, Airtel, BSNL, and Vi, are rolling out emergency protocols to maintain uninterrupted connectivity, especially for Emergency Operations Centres (EOCs) at both state and district levels. This move comes after the Disaster Management Department of the Ministry of Telecommunications highlighted the need to ensure the smooth operation of Base Transceiver Station (BTS) sites located within 100 kilometers of the international border.
