The direction of the Supreme Court to auction 2G spectrum by 31st July 2012 has compelled the government to move fast for holding the same in time. In order to give a chance to the companies whose 122 licences have been cancelled by the apex court, the cancellation of the licences also is extended to that date. The  Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) formed by the government with Pranab Mukherjee as the Chairman has already started its work to het the sanction for release. In the meantime, the DOT has requested the TRAI to clarify certain issues in the case of conducting the auction.
