The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has asked the telecom operators to install new mobile towers. The move is aimed at addressing the issue of call drops and improving the quality of telecom services in the country.

This comes after the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the Ministry of Urban Development gave in-principle approval for installation of telecom towers at government buildings. The government is also planning to allow telecom companies to install mobile towers at 155,000 post offices across the country.

The ministry has further stated that the final decision on the issue of call drops will be taken after getting the views of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
