Telecom industry calls HC verdict on radiation flawed

KOLKATA: Industry lobbies representing India's tower operators and mobile phone companies offering services on both the GSM and CDMA technology platforms have told the government that the recent Rajasthan High Court verdict calling for the removal of mobile towers from schools, hospitals, jails and heritage buildings is "completely erroneous" as it is based on a recommendation of an inter-ministerial panel on radiation that was rejected by the telecom department (DoT).

"The basic premise of the Rajasthan HC judgement is based on an inter-ministerial panel report on radiation. The conclusions drawn by the high court are flawed since DoT did not accept the recommendation of this panel on avoidance of installation of mobile towers in schools, hospitals and other densely populated areas," says the joint communique from the Tower & Infrastructure Providers Association , COAI and Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India, reviewed by ET.

These lobbies have also claimed that the HC order runs contrary to all global scientific findings on mobile radiation by WHO and also DoT's own affidavit before the Rajasthan HC. In fact, the interministerial panel report, which was the basis of the high court order , also concedes as much. "The WHO reported that considering the very low exposure levels and research results collected, there is no convincing scientific evidence that weak RF signals from mobile towers and wireless networks cause adverse health effects," notes this report reviewed by ET.
