POONCH, OCTOBER 15: Deputy Commissioner Vikas Kundal inaugurated 100 Mbps Leased Line Connectivity here today at the National Informatics Centre (NIC) District Centre Poonch. The newly established connectivity is managed by Railtel, significantly enhancing the district administration’s internet infrastructure.
Earlier, the NIC District Centre Poonch operated on a 34 Mbps leased line provided by BSNL. The new 100 Mbps leased line will ensure smooth operations and consistent connectivity.
Parvinder Singh, District Informatics Officer, NIC Poonch, informed the Deputy Commissioner that several key government offices, including the District Court, SSP Office, GP Fund Office, District, and Sub Treasuries, rely on the NIC’s connectivity. Currently, there are approximately 120 Local Area Network (LAN) connections spread across various government offices in District Poonch.
The Chief Technology Officer Net Tech Pvt. Ltd updated the Deputy Commissioner on the establishment of an additional RF (Radio Frequency) Link at NIC Poonch. This link will serve as a backup in case of failure of the optical fiber connection, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity.
After the inauguration, the DC urged Railtel authorities to ensure that the leased line remains reliable, particularly during winters and rainy seasons, when connectivity failures are more common. He emphasized the importance of this infrastructure, as many government departments depend on it for their daily operations.
The event was attended by Additional Deputy Commissioner Tahir Mustafa Malik and other officers.
