"I, (JS) Deepak and Anupam (Shrivastava) will go around in Delhi to monitor call drops," Prasad said Thursday at a BSNL event where he launched modern telephone service of the state-run telecom firm. The minister said that if he is taking initiative to work on ground, he would even like top BSNL officials to come out of their office and work on the ground level. Prasad had earlier conducted drive tests in Indore with the Chairman and Managing Director of BSNL. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) conducted a drive test of call drops in December-January period and found most of the telecom operators, including state-run MTNL, failed random drive tests conducted by the regulator TRAI to check quality of their network and services as part of its efforts to rein in call drop menace.
