JAMMU, Apr 3: A Division Bench of High Court today granted four weeks time to Union of India to file status report with regard to the emission levels in respect of illegally erected mobile towers.
The Division Bench comprising of Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Tashi Rabstan after hearing senior advocate Sunil Sethi with advocate Summit Nayyar for the PIL granted four weeks time to Union of India to file status report with regard to the emission levels in respect of illegally erected mobile towers.
In a Public Interest Litigation filed by Navyug Sethi a law student seeking direction to respondents to issue appropriate directions to all those Telecom companies to shift/re-locate their mobile transmitting towers from the residential areas to such places/areas which have been specifically earmarked and specified for installation of Mobile Transmitting Towers as per the guidelines as on 10.4.2016 issued by the Jammu Municipal Corporation, within such time as may be determined by this Court so that the residents having their residential houses/establishments are saved from suffering serious diseases like cancer, sleep disorders, fatigue, headache, memory loss, depression, hearing problems, joint pains, skin diseases, and even cardiovascular problems which are inevitable because of radiation emitted by these towers.
During the course of hearing advocate Sachin Gupta appearing for the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) submitted that JMC has already identified 360 mobile towers which have been erected illegally without obtaining permission from the Jammu Municipal Corporation. It is submitted that JMC has already issued notices to 60 persons on whose house such mobile towers have been erected illegal and seeks time to take suitable action for remaining towers. |
