DoT, telcos, agencies swiftly restore telecom services in Uttarkashi's disaster-hit region
New Delhi [India], August (ANI): The Department of Telecommunications (DoT), State Coordination Unit, Dehradun, UP (West) LSA, has successfully restored critical telecom connectivity in the Bhatwadi-Gangotri region of Uttarkashi district after a devastating cloudburst near Dharali Village on August 5, 2025, according to official statement from Ministry of disaster caused the Kheer Ganga River to swell suddenly, resulting in widespread destruction and complete disruption of telecom services in the Bhatwadi-Gangotri region. Two telecom towers at Dharali were completely flushed out, while 27 others went down due to multiple fibre cuts and power outages. According to the release, acting with urgency, DoT worked in close coordination with all Telecom Service Providers (TSPs), Infrastructure Providers (IPs), the Uttarakhand State Government, Army, ITBP, NDRF, SDRF, and the disaster management wing of DoT HQ to restore services. In the initial phase, the Bhatwadi-Dharali fibre link was restored using Army-supplied Optical Fibre Cable (OFC) and additional cables airlifted from Uttarkashi and Dehradun. Two RJIO towers were installed at the ITBP Camp site, Dharali, and Mukhawa to re-establish coverage in Dharali and nearby areas. Despite adverse weather and difficult terrain, field teams and equipment were mobilised via helicopter, and local transport was arranged for last-mile delivery. In the next phase, the Dharali-Gangotri fibre link was restored, enabling complete coverage across the region, as per the release. Twenty-six towers have been restored and are now operational. These towers, along with temporary towers in Dharali and Mukhawa, are providing essential connectivity in the disaster-affected region. To ensure uninterrupted service, Intra Circle Roaming (ICR) arrangements were implemented, allowing subscribers to connect to the strongest available network in the region. This collaborative effort among DoT, TSPs, IPs, Uttarakhand State Government, and multiple agencies ensured the timely and rapid restoration of communication lines -- vital for both affected residents as well as personnel engaged in relief and rescue operations. The DoT Uttarakhand Unit, in coordination with telecom operators, took prompt steps to restore telecom services in the disaster-affected area despite challenging conditions. Intra Circle Roaming (ICR) is a telecom arrangement where a mobile subscriber connects to another operator's network within the same telecom circle (region). This allows users to access mobile services even if their own operator has no coverage in that specific area. It plays a critical role during natural disasters when mobile infrastructure is damaged. During the time of disaster, if mobile infrastructure is damaged in a region, DoT issues instructions to Telecom Service Operators to implement ICR. (ANI)

The OFC U-16 Men's Championship Is Ready For Kick Off In Solomon Islands
Press Release – OFC Defending champions New Zealand arrive with a squad well-prepared after testing themselves against elite opposition at a FIFA-hosted tournament in Switzerland earlier this year. The stage is set in Honiara, Solomon Islands, for the OFC U-16 Men's Championship 2025, as eight nations from across Oceania battle for three coveted spots at the FIFA U-17 Men's World Cup 2026 in Qatar. The host nation enters the tournament on the back of significant investment in youth development through local academies and national competitions. Head coach Henry Fa'arodo says his side is ready to make the most of the opportunity. 'I want this team to compete. That's my challenge to the players, to approach every single game with determination, and to inspire the youth of the Solomon Islands. Football has a big impact here, and I believe we can spark the next generation to dream big.' Defending champions New Zealand arrive with a squad well-prepared after testing themselves against elite opposition at a FIFA-hosted tournament in Switzerland earlier this year. 'Preparation has gone pretty well,' said head coach Martin Bullock. 'Switzerland was a great experience, it brought us together earlier than usual and helped identify this group. We know the conditions will be challenging, but if these boys want to become All Whites, they need to embrace every environment and enjoy the ride.' For many players, this championship is the first step on their professional football journey, and for some, their first time overseas. Fiji head coach Sunil Kumar knows the challenge is significant but is aiming high. 'We've been following the progress of teams across Oceania and know how fast they're developing. Our dream is to qualify for back-to-back World Cups, that's our aim.' New Caledonia, a regular contender at youth level, sees this tournament as the product of long-term investment. 'This is the result of over ten years of work,' said coach Frances Watrone. 'Each generation builds on the last, and we're proud of what we've achieved.' Papua New Guinea, Tahiti, and Samoa have also brought squads full of promise, each seeing the tournament as a vital development platform and cultural experience. 'Preparation has been good, last year we had two sessions before the first game, this time we've had six,' said Samoa head coach Valerio Raccuglia. 'In Papua New Guinea, our new U-16 youth national league is a great pathway for football development,' added Papua New Guinea head coach Mathew Witu. At the pre-tournament media conference, a consistent message rang out from all eight teams: this championship is about growth, opportunity, and inspiring the next generation of Oceania footballers. The OFC U-16 Men's Championship 2025 kicks off tomorrow at Lawson Tama Stadium:

American Samoa spreading the net wide for fresh soccer talent and more OFC finals appearances
It's nearly 30 years since the Football Federation of American Samoa joined OFC, but in that time, they have managed just once to get a team past a preliminary round and qualify to compete in an Oceania tournament proper. But now the FFAS has reached what its president Alex Godinet says is a pivotal moment in its development by partnering with the International Football Consultancy. Run by directors Alastair McLae and Russ Gurr, they have already assisted Cook Islands, Fiji, and most notably Samoa, to identify new soccer talent in the diaspora. In Samoa's case, an influx of players has led to their young women securing a place at the next two Under-17 FIFA World Cups in Morocco. So now American Samoa has drafted in those same specialists to strengthen all their teams' chances of qualifying for OFC tournaments, and Alastair McLae says the early signs are very encouraging.
