Mobile phone service towers are health hazard and our BLOG
Kindly recall that our blog high lighted RISKS AND GREED OF OFFICERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS which has resulted into authorised and unauthorised such towers in residential colonies and locations where public go for health check ups and to obtain other services.
Even venues of CWG games are not safe.
Our concern now is to at least concentrate in TRANSYAMUNA AREA.
Despite appearing in this blog, my submission was published in CITYPLUS under captioned of TOWERS OF SHAME.
It is high time that all RWAS,CITIZEN GROUPS MUST RAISE THIS ISSUE IN ALL AVENUES CHANNELS LIKE BHAGIDARI AND IN MEETINGS WITH DY.COMMISSIONER MCD plus in news channels and tv channels.
Let us EXPOSE nexus and get all concerned punished and imprisoned so that there is terror in the mind of such greedy persons who enrisk our and our children lives.

MUST READ : Here's what mobile phone towers do to you and me
Radiation City
1,800 CELL TOWERS IN 2006. 6,000 NOW. BARE MINIMUM RADIATION LEVELS IN 2006. A THOUSAND TIMES MORE NOW. THERE’S A NEW THREAT IN DELHI, REPORTS RISHI MAJUMDER.
HOW SAFE ARE YOU ? EXCLUSIVE TEHELKA 100 SPOT RADIATION SURVEY
“People do not understand,” he says. “Because radiation, unlike air, water and sound pollution, cannot be seen or felt. most Indians have only started using cell phones over the past 10 years.” Dastur says he notices that his employees, like his family members, are already complaining of increasing headaches and extreme fatigue. “In five years, emr will be the number one killer after heart attacks.”
“People do not understand,” he says. “Because radiation, unlike air, water and sound pollution, cannot be seen or felt. most Indians have only started using cell phones over the past 10 years.” Dastur says he notices that his employees, like his family members, are already complaining of increasing headaches and extreme fatigue. “In five years, emr will be the number one killer after heart attacks.”
●Thirty-one spots have “unsafe” radiation levels. This means the levels are two to six times the safe limit
● Nine spots are “borderline”, just over the safe limit
● Only 20 of the 100 spots surveyed in Delhi have safe radiation levels
● Connaught place and khan Market, two of Delhi’s top marketplaces, have extreme anomaly
● Safdarjung hospital, Modern School in Vasant Vihar, the Delhi Police headquarters, and the ISKCON temple fall in areas with extreme anomaly
●The prime Minister’s residence, 7 Race Course Road, is in the borderline zone
●The All india Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), india’s premier healthcare institution, is in a borderline area
● 10 Janpath, where Congress president Sonia Gandhi lives, is safe
● Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is safe at her official residence, 3 Motilal Nehru Place
●The opening and closing ceremonies, and the athletics competition, of the Commonwealth Games will be held in unsafe areas
●The Yamuna Sports Complex, where the Games table tennis and archery competitions will be held, is unsafe
Cell radiation is slow poison. Effects begin with fatigue and could end in cancer. It is nearfatal for ones with pacemakers.
The Delhi Metro, another great beacon of progress, is also emitting levels of radiation that are beyond safe norms. This is another worrisome blind spot.
THE MEDICAL CONSEQUENCES
Hazards from EMR range from short to long term. A headache today could mean a tumour tomorrow.
IMMEDIATELY Could hinder pacemakers and ICDs, which could be fatal for patients
3 YEARS Appetite loss, sleep disorders, headaches, short term memory loss
4-5 YEARS Tinnitus, muscle spasms, visual disorder, skin ailments
5-10 YEARS Drop in sperm count, cardio and respiratory problems
8-10 YEARS Acoustic neuroma, brain tumour, leukaemia

Deadline Over, MCD To Start Sealing illegal Cell Towers
In the coming few days, if your calls drop frequently, don't be surprised.After giving cell phone operators a month to regularise their illegal cell phone towers, the MCD will start sealing all the towers that aren't regularised.
The MCD had issued 1,532 show cause notices to cellphone operators for illegal towers. The notices directed the operators to regularise the towers as they did not have the requisite permission. The city has a total of 5,364 cellphone towers.
However, an RTI application revealed that a number of them had been set up without the mandatory MCD permission. If the sealing drive takes off, South Delhi will be the worst hit. While 35 towers have already been sealed, action is likely on another 250.
MCD officials say, while some operators did apply for regularisation not all of them are willing to pay the Rs 5 lakh installation charges as per the new policy. The cell tower operators say the charges are too steep.
Which means that none of the illegal towers have been regularised till date. "We had organised camps to allow the operators to apply for regularisation but they are not ready to pay the Rs 5 lakh fee.

Few questions about Cell Towers to be asked from MCD
1. Do you agree that the cell towers remit radiation ?
2. If yes, what are the prescribed safe remission limits ?
3. Do you have any track record of all the cell towers of Delhi that what is the actual level of radiation remitted by each one of them ?
4. If yes, how many of these were remitting radiation over & above the prescribed safety lavels ? Please give us a list.
5. It is said that the proportion of newly developed cancer cases was three times higher among those who had lived during the past ten years at a distance of up to 400m (about 1300 feet) from the cellular transmitter site, compared to those living further away. Do you have any data or track record of percentage of cancer patients in the areas as above ?
6. It is said that, “People who are living near mobile tower 400-500 metres should get their houses tested for radiation and use anti-radiation devices to prevent diseases”. Have you taken any steps in this regard ?
7. If not, WHY ?
8. Do you think that instead of caring for the lives of Delhites, just raising the Fees from 1 Lakh to 5 Lakh is the step in the right direction ?
9. Do you think that snatching the right of RWA’s to refuse to install the cell towers in residential areas of Delhi is in the right direction ?

TOWERS FOR MOBILE PHONE SERVICES
Kindly recall eariler messages appearing in this blog. Please vohra ji, advise if all messages published on a particular subject could be viewed at one place and one after the other.
In this way, views already expressed and now being amplified could have a better effect.
On this very subject TOWERS OF SHAME my message would be relevant.
In europe, america,gulf countries and in egypt, towers like minare kulalumpur or like our tv tower pritam pur in north delhi are erected and utiised for wireless services including mobile phones.
What was the back ground (except cost cutting) to allow such towers in residential colonies need to be spelled out. NOT ONLY LEGAL BUT ILLEGALLAY ALLOWED AND FUNCTIONAL TOWERS ARE ADMITTED BY MCD.
MORE THAN 2900 OUT OF 5000 TOWERS ARE ILLEGAL.
The officers allowing such financial loss have gone scot free.
Right from commissioner down below to dy.commissioner heading zones need to be made answerable and recovery made from their salary. The area councillors whether in power or in opposition also must share their valuable thoughts on this matter.
It is common knowledge that nothing illegal can come in their constituencies unless it has their tacit or otherwise blessings.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR US AND FORTUNATELY FOR THEM..public memory is short.
This issue has already been raised and CIC ORDERED appropriate action. Orders are available on their web site.
Citizens group must unite and follow up.

RTI on details of mobile towers spreading radiation ?
We must file an RTI for details of Cell Towers which are remitting radiation. The fear of radiation can be seen by the emergence of COBALT 60 in the Mayapuri Scrap Market. But whats about the spread of radiation by these Cell Towers directly in our homes which is responsible for the spread of cancer.
Views of our members, subscribers & visitors are being awaited.

Impact of mobile towers spreading radiation in residential areas
This is the Impact of radiation being spread by Mobile towers on Rats, who never use the mobile phones. Just imagine the impact of these mobile towers on human beings, who never leave the mobile phone. Ever thought about the LEVELS of radiation spread by these mobile towers ? You will be shocked to find that in majority of cases, the radiation being spread is over & above the normal level & almost touching or even above the alarming leval. We are allowing this radiation in our residential areas, in our homes and it is one of the major cause for the spread of CANCER.

People who are living near mobile tower 400-500 metres should get their houses tested for radiation.
A news from the past :
9 Jun, 2008. NEW DELHI: A Government proposal to make it compulsory for mobile phone manufacturers to specify the radiation levels (SAR) emitted by mobiles has been hailed by experts.
The Department of Telecom is considering guidelines according to International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) standards on emission for limiting exposure to electromagnetic radiations from mobile towers and handsets.
"The dangers of people suffering from ill effects of radiation are many, such as cancer and brain tumor. Radiation can cause miscarriage in pregnant women and trouble in pacemaker or even insomania," said V.S Tripathy, president (Technical), Cogent EMR solutions, anti-radiation product making company.
"People who are living near mobile tower 400-500 metres should get their houses tested for radiation. And use anti-radiation devices to prevent diseases," said Tripathy.
Karmajyot Sewa Trust President VB Gupta said that the trust had filed a PIL in Supreme Court in August 2005 for control of radiation and norms for putting up mobile tower setup. With the united effort of several NGOs the Court had ordered the government to look into the matter, it said.
Gupta claimed that in India, nearly 270 million customers use cellphones and there are over three lakh towers, which emit electromagnetic radiations and application of ICNIRP norms would be a boon to people.
"The buying power of Indians has increased and with it the number of electronic appliances and mobile phones. All electronic appliances emit harmful radiations, strict norms should be applied to see that radiation remain within permissible limits," said Zafar Haq, Cogent Head corporate affairs.
The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) has opposed the government proposal to make it mandatory for mobile phone manufacturers to specify radiation levels on mobile phones and monitor levels of mobile towers.

What are the Dangers of Living Near Cell Phone Towers?
German study: 3 times increased cancer risk
Several doctors living in Southern Germany city of Naila conducted a study to assess the risk of mobile phone radiation. Their research examined whether population living close to two transmitter antennas installed in 1993 and 1997 in Naila had increased risk of cancer.
Data was gathered from nearly 1,000 patients who had been residing at the same address during the entire observation period of 10 years. The social differences are small, with no ethnic diversity. There is no heavy industry, and in the inner area there are neither high voltage cable nor electric trains. The average ages of the residents are similar in both the inner and outer areas.
What they found is quite telling: the proportion of newly developed cancer cases was three times higher among those who had lived during the past ten years at a distance of up to 400m (about 1300 feet) from the cellular transmitter site, compared to those living further away. They also revealed that the patients fell ill on average 8 years earlier.
Computer simulation and measurements used in the study both show that radiation in the inner area (within 400m) is 100 times higher compared to the outer area, mainly due to additional emissions coming from the secondary lobes of the transmitter.
Looking at only the first 5 years, there was no significant increased risk of getting cancer in the inner area. However, for the period 1999 to 2004, the odds ratio for getting cancer was 3.38 in the inner area compared to the outer area. Breast cancer topped the list, with an average age of 50.8 year compared with 69.9 years in the outer area, but cancers of the prostate, pancreas, bowel, skin melanoma, lung and blood cancer were all increased.

NO NEED FOR RWA PERMISSION FOR INSTALLATION OF CELL TOWERS
let the public go to hell. Even otherwise,who cares for them!!!
RWAs have been crying for empowerment, such as, involvement in decision making with regard to development projects in their respective areas; certification for satisfactory completion of works by civic and other agencies; erection and maintenance of security gates in colonies; etc. etc.

Without any authority,RWA is like a lion without teeth. The only tooth provided by the MCD has now been taken back by its high-powered Standing Committee. It has decided that there was no need for RWA permission for installation of cell towers in residential areas.
Where have those reports gone which suggested, just two years back, that the heat generated by the electromagnetic radition emitted by cell towers could cause high blood pressure, headaches,Sleeplessness, fatigue, cataract, reduced mental concentration, and in some extreme cases even Cancer.
In exchange of the above decision, the Standing Committee has increased the fee for installation of the cell towers from one lac to five lac rupees. MCD will get 4 lac more per tower, let the public go to hell. Even otherwise,who cares for them!!!
Will the citizens of Delhi accept it ???

No need for RWA permission for cell tower installation
New Delhi, Apr 15 (PTI) For installation of a mobile tower atop a building in Delhi, there is no need to take permission from concerned residents welfare association from now onwards.
This has been decided at a meeting of the MCD Standing Committee which effected several amendments in its recently- unveiled policy on cell towers.
The meeting also decided that from now on, only regularised buildings will have such towers. According to earlier policy, such structures could be also installed on unauthorised buildings.
In case of residential buildings, permission from RWAs was mandatory earlier.
The MCD had on February 9 unveiled a new policy on mobile towers. According to the revised guidelines for cell towers, the amount payable by the service providers to MCD for installing a tower has been increased from the present Rs one lakh to Rs 5 lakh.

Suggestions
1. Arrest officers who overlooked this matter initially.
2. Impose punitive fines on service providers, property owners and agencies who erected these towers.
The role of press is to expose such scandals and monitor till guilty are punished.
3. Kindly help in seeking above information from authorities under the Right to Information Act.

Cell Phone Towers On School, Hospital Buildings `illegal'; Ensure People Don't Suffer, Says CM
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has framed a policy to regularise cell phone towers in the city.
The policy will be tabled in the standing committee meeting of the civic body on Tuesday.
The MCD has said mobile towers installed on schools, hospitals and dispensaries will have to be removed in 15 days' time.
"The installation of mobile towers is not allowed on school buildings and hospitals as per the present policy also," said Ram Kishan Singhal, chairman of the standing committee of the MCD. "These towers will be removed but at least 15 days' time will be given so that the network in the city is not affected."
Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, meanwhile, said her government has asked the MCD to remove the illegal towers but without causing inconvenience to people.
The civic agency is yet to decide on the time frame it will give to cellular providers under the new policy.

Towers of shame
Mobile service providers erected towers without any permission of authorities and the concerned officers became collaboraters in this crime.
The least government can do is to arrest corrupt officers,impose PUNITIVE FINES so that none is again tempted to erect towers these towers of shame.
Hope CITYPLUS will come forward to monitor this issue.

Is it the turn of Delhi Mobile towers now ?
No end to tower deadlock in Noida
NOIDA/NEW DELHI: Residents of National Capital Region (NCR), particularly Noida, continued to suffer for the fourth consecutive day on Tuesday as Noida authority and cellular operators were unable to end the deadlock. In Delhi, meanwhile, a meeting of senior Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) officials was called to initiate action against 900 ‘‘illegal’’ cellphone towers.
With frequent complaints of calls getting dropped and low connectivity in several parts of Noida, irate residents called for speedy remedial action. An agitated Gaur Sharma, an RWA member of Sector 53, said he faced connection problems all through the day. ‘‘I couldn’t manage to finish even a single call, and most of these were from important business clients. My brother is getting married and even those preparations are held up due to issues with cellphones,’’ he said.
