“Vi is strongly committed to provide seamless connectivity to people, especially at times of emergency. We have taken all precautionary measures to prepare for cyclone Biparjoy.
Proactively, we have ensured sufficient fuel supply to our sites across all locations, and stocking at strategic locations, for use in times of emergency. Spare mobile DGs and other critical equipment parts have been arranged and kept ready at key locations in 7 Districts of Gujarat for faster restoration in case of any potential impact on network infrastructure.
We have also readied Cell on Wheels (COWs) for movement in case there is need for restoration of critical sites that may get impacted.
Vi has allocated additional manpower resources and vehicles in Dwarka, Kutch and Jamnagar districts, to manage any emergency situation.
Further, 24X7 network monitoring is being done through physical War Rooms set up at VIL and vendor offices in Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Gandhidham and Junagadh.
We have also collaborated with other TSPs for testing Intra Circle Roaming Roaming (ICR). Through our partnerships with all stakeholders and Government agencies, we have prepared to ensure stable telecom connectivity during the cyclone to let people stay connected with their loved ones.”
