Measuring Cell Tower Radiation by TERM / DoT on 13 th. june'12

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 .

 There  are 3 Tower  Company /  IP partner  - INDUS , VIOM , VIOM.

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 .
