I skipped writing BLOG in June '12 due to my preoccupied schedule with Govt. Bodies relating to Cell Towers Radiation from its Antennas / Masts. They measured the radiations to 4 houses within 20 meters distance from the cell towers. Tower Location in South Kolkata 32/12A, Gariahat Road ( south ) ,Kolkata - 700031, India. TERM stands for --Telecom Enforcement,Resource and Monitoring Cell
I made my petition to DoT Delhi - under RTI Act - 2005 to arrange the followings :-
- Requested to measure the Radiation levels in my Residential building which is located very close to 2 nos. of Cell Towers installed illegally on the roof top of my immediate neighboring building 25 feet apart ,with the connivance of Landlord & with cell operators.It is gathered that the towers are used by more than two cell operators as antennas are many of many cell operators fixed.All its antennas are facing my bed rooms in first floor, 2nd floor & 3rd floor respectively. After waiting more than one month I reced. a call from TERM / DoT , Govt. of India that they are coming to measure my bed rooms radiation levels . They came on 13th. June '12 after 3pm carrying huge costly Radiation Measuring Instrument consisting of a team of 3 officials, before entering they visited neighbor houses by going to their roof top , inside bed rooms , found radiations exists every building , every rooms close to antennas.
- The whole team members entered my house & found radiations exists in every floor, rooms but more in roof areas as the terrace roof close to
- antennas. I could take their photographs with the instrument which you can see from top picture .
- As per ICNIRP guidelines and DOT order the power density limit with lowest frequency in range as 800 MHz is 4.00 w/sq.m.
- There are 3 operators Vodafone, Idea , Uninor .
The Director / CPIO TERM Cell / Kolkata in his letter written that Measurements were taken at four spots near my premises & was done within the frequency range of 800 MHz to 2300 MHz. which covers all mobile technologies in use and around this site , viz., CDMA, WCDMA , GSM and 3G.
These Cell towers are installed in the above premises violating Govt. guide lines
without structural stability certificate , without Municipal corporation permissions, the municipal corporation declared Illegal & served notice to the landlord under section 401 KMC demolishing act 1981.
I complained further to the West Bengal & Central Pollution Control Appellate Authority against the Cell operators who have defeated in the Appellate court recently after legal fight since last one year. The Appellate Court has issued ORDER & disposed two cases instructing Municipal Commissioner for Demolition proceedings against the Towers soon for gross violation and non payment of any fees.
I ask the Director & CPIO TERM Cell / Kolkata on Electro Magnetic Radiation
levels -- it is not what the Govt. says is OK. that matters but how the Human Body reacts over time to the levels that it is exposed to. Prof. Girish kumar IIT/ Mumbai also said to me before O got the report from TERM that wherever Govt. TERM Cell makes measurement , they find it Ok & within the limit of ICNIRP guide lines and DOT order. Who cares about the health hazards !! The Govt. will not be alert till there is CANCER Boom in the country, recently in electronic media & print media lot of topics & news are published .
