Property tax form for 2010-11

It is a pity that the MCD's Property tax office located in Geeta Colony does not make available requisite number of forms requested for by the RWAs. The residents are willing to pay the tax much in advance of the target date but the MCD is loathe about it. We had requested for a camp at our society's office and make available the necessary number of forms but lo, silence prevails and they don't reply to any letters unless and until you visit their office a large number of times and meet babus and beg for the camp and no. of forms.

We can't understand why when residents are readily willing to pay in advance, the MCD Property tax office sit idle till June and hurry up to make collection. Our simple request is to arrange to hold the camp at the earliest in Anand Vihar Society's office where requisite facilities will be provided and make available the requisite number of forms requested for. Or make it available on the website so that we could download and get them printed for our use. Form available on the website pertains to 2009-10. Last yeat too considerably delay took place in making available the forms and holding the camp.

We trust you could help us which will be of immense assistance to each and every RWA!

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.
LET THIS BLOG GIVE A LEAD.

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.

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 ???
