As per the recent guideline of the Hon'ble court it is illegal in populated zone. So, please filed a complaint to nearest police station and DoT / TRAI and if not received and response filed the complaint application to the Hon'ble Court with the help of Advocate.

File a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition in the Hon'ble High Court of Utterkhand to stop the installation of such harmful tower. Do not file police complaint, things can be managed at their level.

@Querist,

 

Write an application to Municipal Corporation telling about whole incidents.Make an application under RTI and ask them under what rule they are allowing such establishment.

 

If first doesn't work,file a PIL in high court of your jurisdiction.

This is already named as the “Killer waves” declared by the World Health Organisation's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) saying that  radiation from cellphone handsets and towers  may cause glioma, a type of brain cancer. Towers are more dangerous than handsets because they emit greater-intensity radiation 24X7, and despite this findings, in many towns and villages there is a rush to have the tower install in their land for a small monetary benefits without knowing anything about the KILLER WAVES .Yes, technology is fine, but stringent measures are needed, unfortunately, in many cases Complaints to authorities have not helped so far, and this void in the Legal structure should be address immediately by the appropriate authority. For the time being, writ would be more appropriate.
