Pune outbreak was because of contaminated water, that's why like 100+ people got it.

The rest of the reportage is because GBS is now "mainstream" after the Pune outbreak so partrakars search for and will publish this till some other "hot" case appears on the news cycle.

Like after that one short haired liberal woman was chopped up by her green bf, there was an uptick in "guy chops up woman into pieces" type articles in the press for like 2-3 months after.

TLDR is after one "famous" case makes news, patrakars will hunt for equal-equal and sem2sem stories and publish them for a while

Speaking about TRAI, telcos have introduced cheaper calling/SMS only plans, no?

They simply removed just the data part from existing (call+SMS+data) packs and reduced few bucks and voila...you have a "cheap" plan.
