Cell tower what I saw

The Two Cell tower companies in my earlier Blog failed to submit  the permission documents of Govt. bodies to Appellate court of WBPCB within the prescribed time approved earlier , as a result the Chief Law Officer of West Bengal Pollution Control Board is entrusted to execute different environmental laws within the territorial jurisdiction of the state of West Bengal,for the purpose of abatement of pollution & protection environment, state Board he issued an Order no . 5L/WPB/2010/T dt. 28.04.2011 upon M/s Wireless TT Info services Ltd.,now known as M/S VIOM Networks Ltd.,   &
 M/S.Indus Towers Ltd, to remove the mobile towers from premises no.32/12A, Gariahat Road - South, Kolkata -700031,for installing mobile towers without obtaining necessary permission of the competent authorities and therefore,State Board directed the mobile tower companies to remove the mobile tower from the premises under question within the prescribed time given in the order was15-05-2011,failing which State Board will issue necessary Regulatory order  by imposing 'Pollution Cost' & also demolishing order without any further reference.
As per the Law of the Land Mobile Tower Co.  before installing any mobile tower should obtain permission from the following authorities:-
a) Ministry of Communications & IT., Department of Telecommunicatios (DoT), Govt. of India
b) Local Authority like KMC.
c)Permission of the State Board for installing the Diesel generator set ( presently this is banned by the same board)

d)Structural Stability Certificate from the competent Engg. institution for installation of mobile tower & every year  the certificate  has to be renewed.
e) Permission of the other occupiers of the premises ,tenants, residents welfare committee -where mobile tower is intended  to be installed and in case of plain land permission from the Land & Land reforms Dept. and occupier of the land.
The Chief Law Officer  issued copies of the order to all concerned  like Exe. Director of CESC  not to give any Electric connection , copies to two tower cos., complainant, Land Lord of the premises, & so others.
After lapse of 15.05.2011 I not seen any action to execute the order by CESC for power disconnection, KMC  Authority , WBPCB , then written & personally met all concerned  but not found any result.
After the Victory of Trinamul Congress & others alliance parties over CPM Regime formed a New Govt. to bring Paribartan in the Stae of West Bengal, met the new Environment Minister with detailed documents handed over at Writer's Buildgs. on 10 th. june ,'11 in the presence of Principal Secretary in the room of MIC- environment, but all went in vain, after that also given reminders no result. As the Govt. have no joint action plan committee between KMC . Police dept. & WBPCB ,these flaws of Govt. the two tower cos.used the lapses of Govt. & moved to High Court to get it delayed  of their Illegal Act,as in our country Judiciary is very lengthy process, many illegal acts are being made legal by the loop holes of laws framed by Govt./ Country's Parliament.
To know the status we are meeting & writing to the concerned authorities about the subject above (under RTI act) no favourable reply is there till court decide!!
