Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has send notices to more than 15 mobile service providers for putting up mobile towers illegally. Some of the towers put up by Reliance and Idea were dismantled. Good move, though it is a little late awakening. The towers are erected on the terraces of buildings without permission from the authorities. The number of the mobile towers has been increasing in residential pockets in Mumbai without any control and concern. The people do not actually know who to approach for redressal.
It is true that a little Radio frequency radiation emitted by the towers is not fatal. Researches so far conducted on the effect on the human body (such as induction of cancers/tumors) of long-term exposure to radio frequency radiation are not showing any conclusive evidence of the health effects. Keeping in mind the uncertainty and the gaps in our knowledge about the health effects of exposure to the RF radiation, it is necessary to control its manufacture and usage (in terms of time /day) through regulation. The mobile towers should not be permitted to be put up in residential areas.
The best option may be to share limited number of towers, allowed to put-up in areas where the population density is less.
