Menace of Mobile Towers

Bihar and specially the city of Patna has seen unprecedented increase in the number of mobile towers. Most of the building owners and the tower companies are violating each and every rule in the book. There are unmpteen number of research papers to prove that these towers are highly dangerous for the health of living beings. Despite of that there are building and land owners who are renting their roof and land to mobile tower companies. Most of these towers are situated in densely populated areas in Patna. Right now the total number of towers falling under the rule of Patna Municipality is 380 (according to survey of 2009). The way construction of towers is going on we might see unexpectedly higher number in the new survey. It is right time when the government takes cognizance of the health threat of mobile towers and make codified rules for them.
