FAQ's

Background of Right of Way Portal

The Telecom Department of India issued new rules for the setting up of telecom towers and laying of cables, problems over which have often pitted municipal bodies and the public against the industry. The Right of Way (RoW) rules came into effect to provide a framework to give approvals and settle disputes in a time-bound manner, as well as improve coordination between companies and government authorities. These also allow online filing of applications, in a bid to ease the pain that the sector faces in building infrastructure.

Inadequate infrastructure is blamed for call drops and creating roadblocks to broadband penetration. But fear of radiation has led many people and municipal bodies to oppose the setting up of towers in their localities. There are also problems over laying of cables that often requires digging up of roads and private property. The new rules under the Indian Telegraph Act state that local and state authorities would have to appoint nodal officers for implementing the rules, in order to improve coordination between companies and authorities. The rules are expected to help companies get land from state governments and local bodies within a set timeframe, as they set standard procedures for telecom companies and government authorities to follow.

Infrastructure providers will have to put in their applications in detail, including the tower or fibre to be set up, the time it will take and the expenses that a local authority would have to incur for the work done, besides measures to make sure of public safety and reduce inconvenience. The portal has been set up to deliver the required services to the Telecom Service Provider and Internet Provider (TSP/IP) in a time-bound and clear manner. TSP/IP can get clearances and approvals for services such as Optical Fibre Cable and erection of tower. For more details, visit the official Right of Way portal at https://www.row.tn.gov.in/new/
