The Assam government has approved guidelines for granting right of way (RoW) for telecommunication infrastructure in the state, in order to facilitate the speedy roll-out of 5G. The highlights of the guidelines include single-window clearances for 5G RoW applications, the integration of Assam’s RoW applications with the central GatiShakti Sanchar portal for 5G purposes, and a provision for the use of street infrastructure for the deployment of small cells and overground cables.
