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.

  1. Is there any control on the illegal & badly managed Towers which are spraying RADIATION more than the normal ranges or touching alarming ranges.

  2. Mobile phone aervices were introduced in delhi around 1995. Since then what guide lines were adopted to approve and sanction these towers.
    How it is that illegal towers more than 2000 came up in delhi,depriving mcd of precious revenue and encouraging..I AM ABOVE LAW attitude.
    Keep public convenience in mind, but ALL RESPONSIBLE PERSONS MUST BE SUMMARILY TRIED AND PUNISHED.
    Immediate action is required to recover amount payable by each service provider including PUNITIVE ACTION and warnings.
