Milestone in Digital & Strategic Connectivity: Siachen & DBO Now Linked by Fibre-Optics
Proud to share a major development: the Indian Army’s Fire and Fury Corps has successfully laid down optical fibre cables reaching the remote, high-altitude zones of Siachen Glacier and Daulat Beg Oldi — at altitudes of 18,000 ft and above. signalers
This achievement — realised under extreme, sub-zero conditions of snow, wind, and crevasses — enables uninterrupted communication for troops stationed in the world’s highest militarised zone.
Beyond defence, this connectivity signifies nation-building: it opens pathways for emergency response, remote education/healthcare, timely logistics, and better integration of frontier zones — aligning with the broader vision of connectivity-led development.
Kudos to all the signallers and teams involved who braved the “icy heights to digital lights.” 👏
