In other news, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is taking stronger steps to reduce unwanted marketing calls. They have introduced heavy fines, which can reach up to Rs 10 lakh, for businesses that make these annoying calls. Additionally, they have launched a new app called Do-Not-Disturb (DND) that lets users set their own preferences for marketing calls, helping people have more control over what calls they receive.
