Firm Challenges C-DOT's Sole Role in Sachet Alert System
A company has challenged a government order that named C-DOT as the sole implementing agency for cell broadcasting under the Sachet emergency alert system. The order, dated 01.10.2024, followed a 19.09.2024 meeting. The petitioner says its tech was successfully trialled and Airtel and Vodafone-Idea chose it as partner. The case questions single-agency selections.
Key Statutory Highlights
- An Office Memorandum dated 01.10.2024 appointed C-DOT as the sole implementing agency for Cell Broadcasting Solutions.
- The petitioner says it ran successful trials and was chosen by Airtel and Vodafone-Idea as their implementation partner.
- SMS-based alerts were found inadequate, leading to cell broadcasting being added in Phase-II of the Sachet system.
