I too have the same problem. I did a trick from XDA forum. Not sure it will work for you.
Prerequisites: update software to 100.10.170.70 (I did it manually)
1.Drain your battery to 4 percentage and turnoff your mobile.
2.Then restart in download mode( press volume down and power button simultaneously).
3.Then in download mode wait for the battery to drain out completely.
4.When battery runs out of power press the power button again to see that baterry is fully down i.e no response while clicking power button.
Final step recharge your phone upto 10 or 20 percent and turn on your mobile. And wait for sometime. The XDA author says by doing so the radio component resets completely. I am not the author. But it worked for me.
I tried this method two times. Not guaranteeing anything. No harm in trying when official service assistants doesn't help much. All the best.

It worked...thanks man I was worried since morning as during this lockdown having a network is a must...I was sceptical but as per the research there's some issue with the antenna cable...and you made sense though. Thank you once again 🤘🏻
