I and few of my fellow housing owners have come across a serious problem with respect to the forceful installation of mobile tower even after requesting to stop the work which is not appropriately done with respect to the distance and also not keeping in view the adverse effects post operationalisation of the same.
An Airtel mobile tower is being installed almost on top of our houses which is not even away more than 15 mtrs from our houses. The building on which the tower is getting installed is an educational institution namely Ranjit Bed College owned by the same individual getting the tower installed.
Further, the tower is getting installed just overhead of our homes which are built within the frame of (15 - 20 meters) from the tower.
We would like to lodge complaint on behalf of residents of Bandhu Rakh, Kunjwani, Jammu, J&K, INDIA against the installation and functioning of mobile phone tower consisting of atleast 4 GSM and some parabolic antennas, thereby putting the life of residents in hazardous and tensed situation.
As you might also be aware of the fact that, the Mobile Tower has to be installation approx.50-100 meters away from the residential area or as per the count of the antennas due to the emissions of high intensity electromagnetic radiations.
The same was escalated via telephonic conversation to the installing firm namely Ericsson and inturn to the authoroties of the primary company, Airtel communication but all in vain as no one is ready to listen to our request and the installation and structural work towards the operationalisation of it is continued in double speed to avoid any interruptions.
As per the rules, it is the necessary for any tower company to take the concent / No objection certificate from the society which was bypassed as it was known to the sole agencies that the same will be turned down, as proper SOP's were not in place.
We therefore request and urge you, to kindly look into the matter personally and the above stated tower be removed immediately from the residential area in order to prevent further damage to the health of innocent people of the society

Updated by Pardeepsinghraina Dear Sir/ Madam,
With respect to my earlier mail with which I had complained of Airtel not following the distance protocols for installation of mobile tower.
This is to update you the post your notification to Airtel, a team comprising of Mr Gagan and Mr. Ravinder Manhas approached me approx. 02 week back, to make us satisfy and to continue with the tower at the same distance. It was revealed by them that there will not be any adverse effect of the radiations which are radiated by the tower placed just above our house.
Further this is to inform you that I have requested them to send the society an email which should contain the contents that these radiations are not harmful upto atleast 20mtrs as per their confirmation so that we are preety sure and are not always in dilemma what to do. They assured the same but till date no one has done the same as they had assured of sharing the same post concent with their Legal team.
Further, this is now found that the tower has been operationali even after consumer court notified them about the same.
I request you to please look into this to save precious human lives.
Benign Regards
