Delhi Govt's ROW Policy Aids Telecom Deployment

The Delhi government has recently unveiled a Right of Way (ROW) policy to speed up the deployment of telecom infrastructure across the city. This new policy aims to facilitate the installation of telecom towers and related infrastructure, bringing faster and reliable connectivity to Delhi's residents and businesses.

With the proliferation of smartphones and the increasing demand for reliable internet connectivity, the need for a robust telecom infrastructure has become more critical than ever. The ROW policy, or simply put, the rules and regulations guiding the installation of telecom infrastructure, has been developed to address the challenges and complexities associated with the process.

Under this policy, the Delhi government will streamline the clearance and approval procedures required for setting up telecom towers and laying optical fibers. It aims to expedite the process by providing a single-window clearance mechanism that reduces administrative hurdles and enhances the efficiency of deployment.

Additionally, the ROW policy emphasizes the sharing of existing infrastructure among different telecom operators, enabling them to leverage and optimize the available resources. This approach will prove to be cost-effective, as it minimizes duplication and maximizes the utilization of existing infrastructure.

The government has also recognized the importance of public and private collaborations in driving digital connectivity. As a result, they have encouraged the joint use of government buildings, streetlights, and other urban infrastructure for installing telecom equipment. This will not only expedite deployment but also reduce the visual impact of telecom infrastructure on the cityscape.

Furthermore, the ROW policy strictly adheres to health and safety guidelines. It ensures that all telecom infrastructure installations comply with electromagnetic field exposure limits, mitigating potential health risks. This commitment to safety reassures residents and maintains a balance between connectivity and public health concerns.

Apart from addressing the deployment challenges, the ROW policy also emphasizes the need for a robust complaint redressal mechanism. It establishes a dedicated helpline and online portal, enabling citizens to report any grievances or issues related to telecom infrastructure deployment promptly. This proactive approach will help in resolving concerns swiftly and maintain transparency.

The introduction of the ROW policy by the Delhi government is a significant step towards accelerating telecom infrastructure deployment. By streamlining administrative procedures, promoting resource sharing, and ensuring safety and transparency, this policy will contribute to improving digital connectivity and meeting the growing demands of the city's residents and businesses.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands.

Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
