Hey Pal,

While going through the above-mentioned answers about the

mobile tower complaint, I would like to say that

India has more than a million cell phone users, thus there is a continuing need to build new cell phone towers to improve network coverage and prevent call drops.

The number of locations where a cell phone tower can be installed is decreasing as urbanisation progresses rapidly. The rooftops of tall buildings are one of the few remaining locations for the construction of mobile towers. Although the property owner might opt to install a tower or towers at any time, installing a mobile tower is not an easy operation.

The first thing to keep in mind is that installing towers in residential areas is NOT prohibited. However, if there aren't any other suitable locations, a tower can be erected in a neighbourhood.

Additionally, it's crucial to remember that if a tower needs to be put in a residential area, it should only be on top of buildings. Even then, public buildings or open places should be the first choice for installation. A tower should only be put on the roof of a structure that is solely for residential use after all other possibilities have been explored. The best places to install mobile towers are in forests or open spaces.

I would like to share a few contact details if you want to raise your

Hi there,

Mobile towers can be very hazardous and pose a serious threat to our health. As mentioned by Miss Jayati, the threats can range from dizziness to Cancer and serious mental disorders. So it is very important for everyone to understand

how to remove mobile tower from residential area. 

The area in which I reside has independent homes and thus there are a few houses that have installed mobile towers in the greed for monetary benefits. Not many people in my area are much aware of the adversities of installing a mobile tower and hence very few people paid any heed to the matter. So I had to first educate the residents in my area about the hazardous threats of such towers through a small campaign, after which many people came out to support us in getting that mobile tower removed.

Although many ways of understanding how to stop cell tower installation are already mentioned in the previous responses, I would like to add a few more ways on how to complain against mobile tower.

• You can lodge a complaint to the local Municipal Authority or the Non-Polluting Control Board by way of an application for the removal of the mobile tower.

• If the authorities do not respond, you can file a written petition in the High Court of your city.

• You can also issue a complaint to the district administration which will then issue a notice to the house owner and the telecom house.

• The residents of the area can also file an Injunction suit against the house owner and the telecom department on the account of the health threats posed by the mobile towers.

• If unfortunately there are already health issues emerging in your area because of the mobile tower, you can file a Civil Suit under the law. You may want to appoint a good advocate to establish direct evidence to prove that the diseases have been caused due to the mobile towers.

I wish you all the luck and hope these ways of how to remove mobile tower from residential area help you out.
