Govt to SC: Call drops enforceable; telcos must pay penalty

In a follow-up to the call drop case, Attorney General (AG), on Monday, informed Supreme Court that there seems to be no possible solution after its meeting with telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and Telecom Ministry over the weekend. The government clearly stated that call drops are enforceable and that telcos will have to pay penalty. The meeting between AG, TRAI and Ministry was scheduled after Supreme Court had questioned TRAI over its call drop structure. TRAI, in a technical paper, had said that not all dropped calls can be traced back to telcos. Supreme Court is slated to hear the case on April 21. Watch video for more
