The Minister said he spoke to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to decide whether there could be any incentive for ensuring that mobile call drop does not happen.
He also said 35,000 new mobile towers have been planned across the country to address the call drop issue. "Of the 35,000 mobile towers, we have already installed 12,000 in the last one year," he added.

Prasad said the financial health of BSNL is improving with the NDA government at the Centre. "BSNL had achieved a profit of Rs 10,000 crore in 2004 when the NDA government was there.
It showed a loss of Rs 8,000 crore after 10 years when the UPA government's tenure got over in 2014. "The telecom company has now added 47 lakh new customers and its revenue is up by 2 per cent in the last one year during our government at the Centre," he added.
