Union Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region, Jyotiraditya Scindia, today launched the ‘Cell Broadcast Alert System’, developed indigenously by C-DOT in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), under the guidance of Home Minister Amit Shah.
Through this system, critical information related to disasters, emergencies, and public safety will be transmitted directly and instantly to citizens’ mobile phones.
As part of this initiative, a nationwide trial of the system was conducted today, during which emergency alert messages, accompanied by a beep sound, were displayed on mobile phones across the country.
This test forms part of preparedness efforts to ensure swift dissemination of alerts during natural disasters, severe weather events, and other emergency situations.
