TRAI's Independent Drive Test whose findings were released in November 2026 covered which districts?
- A.Nuh and Palwal in Haryana
- B.Alwar and Bharatpur in Rajasthan
- C.Meerut and Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh
- D.Mandi and Kullu in Himachal Pradesh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Nuh and Palwal in Haryana. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India tested mobile network quality in these two cities and the areas adjoining them, all of which lie within the Haryana Licensed Service Area, and released the findings for the information of telecom consumers. The testing was carried out from 13 to 15 July 2026 and was supervised by the TRAI Regional Office at Jaipur, which is why Rajasthan sometimes appears as a tempting wrong answer; the office supervising a test is not the area tested. Option B is wrong for that reason, and Alwar and Bharatpur do not figure in the report. Option C and option D name districts in Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh, neither of which was part of this exercise. The routes covered places such as Tauru, Nagina and Ferozpur Jhirka in Nuh district and Hodal, Punhana and Palwal Rural in Palwal district.
