Barring Reliance Jio, all the telecom operators have failed to meet the standards for call drop as set by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). The test was conducted on different highways across the countries and rail routes too. Through the agency appointed by TRAI, all the operators had to undergo a test where the call drop was measured.
Vodafone Idea, BSNL, Bharti Airtel have failed to meet the benchmark as prescribed by the telecom regulator. It was only Reliance Jio which appeared to have passed it.
The chosen highways for the test were the ones between Asansol to Gaya, Digha to Asansol, Gaya to Danapur, Bengaluru to Murdeshwar, Raipur to Jagdalpur, Dehradun to Nainital, Mount Abu to Jaipur and Sri Nagar to Leh, The New Indian Express reported.
Among those rail routes that had been selected, the three run between Prayagraj to Gorakhpur, Delhi to Mumbai and Jabalpur to Singrauli.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
