Cell Operators activities in India -
The respective Municipal Corporation , District boards , Gram Panchayat gives permission for erection of mobile towers on land and roof terrace of buildings and they consider the structural safety of the tower. In India 50% cell towers are illegal . The correct figure of cell tower records are not avail with municipal corporation. The officials of municipality seldom visit to check the structural safety only. In many metro cities of India in connivance of land lord of the building / promoters of ownership flats - with the cell operators make an 3 - 5 yrs.agreement with deposit of 5 lacs and having understanding with local goons , local police , politicians etc with out informing , & without taking permission install cell towers with monthly rental of 40k - 50 k to landlord / flat owner committee earns. The rent amount is fixed depending on the number of tower and roof area . The staircase of the premises goes under the control of cell operators . In such illegal act Corporation and other Govt. bodies loose the revenue from the cell operators. By this cell towers are mushroomed in densely populated areas violating ICNIRP guide lines. The Term Cell under DoT close their eyes for such act of cell operators nationwide. License for transmission, permission for sharing tower by many service providers . license for new technologies etc. are given by DOT . A single agency should give permission for erecting towers , considering the safety of people. But a single tower is shared by many service providers with many antennas of circular and tube light type which is not known to permission giver DOT. The Idea , Airtel , Viom officials also visits and tells that the radiations are not harmful. There should be norms regarding distance to residences , schools , hospitals etc from antenna, height at which antennas are fixed and total power transmitted from a tower. DOT and industry should accept the fact that problem exists and try to solve the problem.
In my recent visit in USA - it is noticed that cell towers are not found on roof tops except down town areas to cater the service for the high rise office buildings only . Most mobile towers are installed enclosed with iron fenced in nature big park , in open area with 180 - 200 ft. ht. from ground , also seen over hills & forest on high ways away from human lives . Camouflaged mobile towers also seen like cocoanut trees. The ICNIRP guide lines are strictly followed in USA , if violation of guide lines ,there are public to sue case against mobile tower companies with penalty and subsequent removal.
