Under attack from the Opposition on the call drop problem, Union Minister for I.T and Telecom, Ravi Shankar Prasad assured the country that the situation is improving.
"There is a problem about call drops, but the situation is improving," Prasad told reporters.
"All the telecom operators have been told to take steps to improve quality of services," Prasad said, adding that the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has reviewed the situation on weekly basis for the past two months to reduce call drops.
He said that all the operators have been asked to find out ways to improve telephonic services in the country and DoT Secretary Rakesh Garg spoke to the owners/operators of the service providers at the highest level.
Identifying shortage of towers as the main problem for call drops, Prasad said that a policy decision had been taken under which all buildings of Government of India must allow installation of towers, while the post offices too had been directed to allow towers on rent at its buildings throughout the country.
