In a much-awaited relief, the Union Cabinet on Wednesday(15-09-2021) approved a relief package for the country's cash-strapped telecom sector, along with several structural reforms to strengthen the sector. All those who will avail of the moratorium will have to pay some interest, minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced. The moratorium will start from October 1, the Cabinet said.
 
“The reforms are deep and broad. They are structural. These reforms will bring in change today, tomorrow and in the future.
