The Indian Army has successfully installed Optical Fibre connectivity at Siachen and Daulet Beg Oldie (DBO). Siachen, being the world’s highest and coldest battlefield, is strategically important due to its location between Pakistan and China. The installation of high-speed broadband connectivity in such challenging conditions highlights India’s efforts to enhance communication and surveillance capabilities in the region. Siachen has been under Indian control since 1984 and is vital for maintaining India's territorial security in the northernmost region.
