Neha Kumar a Radiation & Micro Biology Expert, daughter of Prof. Girish kumar , IIT , Mumbai --
Gave a press statement in Hindustan Times in last August '12 which I am repeating for our awareness that in Mumbai out of 3705 mobile phone towers across the City that can jeopardize your health & life , 1830 - that's roughly half of them --- are illegal, says the Civic body . but the Brihanmumbai Municipal corporation ( BMC ), which discovered this fact , last June , when it conducted a survey of mobile phone towers , has done nothing for the past 13 months to remove the illegal ones. So far , Officials have taken action against only 140 illegal tower. As reported in HT's July 15 edition, it's common for people living close to mobile towers to experience the recomends that radiation levels be only 450 milli watts / sqm. the Current radiation levels permitted in India are 4,500 milliwatts . sqm as per International commission on non-ionizing Radiation protection norms.
Adverse effects -According to experts being expressed to a mobile tower located within 50 mtrs. is like being in a microwave oven for 24 hrs. Though recently on 1st. September'12 DOT has asked by Govt. notifications to Cell Operators asking them to reduce power/radiation level by 1/10th. from existing norms. This is nothing but show to public by Govt. , who is going to monitor ? Is TERM Cell of DOT have checked, who is authorized to do & organize nation wide checking ?
I am writing out of frustration that I live in Kolkata trying to locate the illegal cell towers , many towers are located , the cell operators defeated in appellate court of Pollution Control Board ( W.B), the list of illegal cell operators handed over to Municipal commissioner, Mayor of kolkata, the Civic Body is doing nothing to remove or demolish ! Though I find that Mumbai Civic Body is taking stern action by demolishing the towers , Hyderabad Civic Body , Rajasthan , Hariyana, Kerala etc . are taking actions except our KOLKATA, a change has come in the name of Ma - Mati - Manus , but in reality no change appears or not having any administrative control or action against these violators of Govt. guide lines . Kolkata Civic Body agrees that they have no idea how many Cell Towers exists in Kolkata Residential Building Roof Tops, it is presumably more than 4000 cell towers exiting but Civic Body have no record though Govt. is losing lot of revenues.
Because we Indians live in fools paradise!
Wish you all happy & merry christmas & Radiation free New Year .
Hope to write more,
