Respected sirs,
Subject: protest against preposed bsnl mobile tower
This is to call your attention to our outright objection against the proposed installation of the bsnl base station\mobile tower in the heart of our residential locality.
Please check the location map.
Proposed bsnl tower: https://goo.gl/maps/R5ZirejDCFE2
The installation of the aforesaid base station started under disguise but now stopped by changanacherry municipal authority.
The health hazards of radiation from mobile towers needs no explanation.
This is not an isolated case and there are substantial court orders in our favour.
Court rulings.
Kerala high court
Even if municipal building rules (Mbr) allow construction of mobile towers in residential areas, such use cannot be allowed if the town planning scheme (Tps) prohibits it, a single bench of the kerala high courthas held. Pointing out that tps would prevail over mbr, the court further held that mobile towers cannot be allowed in residential areas. The ruling was given by justice anil k narendran [2015]
Supreme court
Harish chand tiwari has succeeded in getting the supreme court of india to shut down a mobile tower for causing cancer to him. Gwalior-based harish alleged that a bsnl tower located less than 50 meters from the house he worked exposed him to radiation that further led to hodgkin’s lymphoma. According to times of india, a bench of justices ranjan gogoi and navin sinha [2017] said, “we direct that the particular mobile tower shall be deactivated by bsnl within seven days from today.” this will also be the first time in the country when a mobile tower has been shut down on the ground of radiation.
Direction given by supreme court is fair and is in larger public interest. The apex court has passed the most appropriate directive. The mobile towers are hazardous for health, ashok k. Aggarwal, director general, tsdm (Telecom system design manufacturers association) said.
We submit this memorandum as per the unanimous decision taken by the general body meeting of the star residence association held on[protected].
It is imperative that the installation of the tower in our locality should be abandoned.
Awaiting your fast positive response.
Sincerely
For star residence association
