Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Thursday claimed that the call drop problem was improving with various telecom companies installing 1.24 lakh towers to mitigate the issue.
“Things are improving....Private telecom operators have installed one lakh towers, while the state-owned BSNl has put in place 24,000 Base Transceiver Station (BTS) towers across the country in the past one year to improve the call drop problem,” he told reporters here.
Private telecom operators have decided to invest Rs 12,000 crore for installation of 60,000 more towers over the next three months.
