New Delhi, India is celebrating 75th year of Independence as Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. To commemorate the monumental occasion and to build a new Atmanirbhar Bharat, DoT is committed to ensure a robust telecom network with state of art technology and best quality of service.
Telecommunications is a key source of empowerment of citizens at large and an effective tool for socio-economic development of a nation. It has become core infrastructure for rapid growth and modernization of various sectors of the economy. To provide best quality of telecommunication service to the customers, the expansion of mobile network including tower infrastructure are inevitable. In this period of COVID-19 pandemic, the role of telecom and mobile communications has become very crucial to support work from home, online classes, use of e-commerce platforms, e governance etc.
Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Delhi LSA organised an EMF awareness programme through Webinar at 11:00 am (morning) on 12-10-2021 (Tuesday). During the programme the officers of DoT, Delhi LSA and Medical Expert clarified the myth and misconception among the participants regarding EMF radiations and its effect on health.
The EMF radiation is a RF/Electromagnetic energy emitted from mobile tower antenna and mobile handset are non-ionizing having very low energy. Based on scientific evidence, studies and reports available, it is found that there is no conclusive evidence of the stated danger of EMF radiation from mobile tower. Further, the EMF emissions from a mobile tower, which are below the safe limits prescribed by International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and recommended by World Health Organisation (WHO), have no convincing scientific evidence of causing adverse health effects.
Various judgements of High Courts of India on the issues of radiation from mobile tower say that there is no conclusive data to show that radiation from mobile tower is in any way harmful or hazardous to the health of citizens.
Department of Telecommunication (DoT), through its field units has already taken necessary steps and adopted stricter norms for safety from EMF radiation that are emitted from mobile towers. DoT has adopted the radiation norms which are 10 times stricter than the norms prescribed by ICNIRP as recommended by WHO. All the information on Mobile tower radiation is available to the public on DoT’s website: https://dot.gov.in/journey-emf
DoT and Telecom. Service Providers (TSPs) take various measures to ensure the EMF compliance of mobile towers/ Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) to safe limits.
The Webinar was addressed by Sh. Arun Kumar, DDG, DoT, Delhi LSA. Presentation on various aspects of EMF and steps taken by DoT was covered by Sh. Vijay Prakash, Director and Sh. Kamal Tripathi, ADG, DoT, Delhi LSA. Various health related queries and myth about harmful effect of EMF radiations from mobile towers was also clarified by a medical expert, Dr Vivek Tandon, Assistant Professor (Neurosurgery), All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.
The Webinar was focussed to clear doubt among various stakeholders including Public Representatives, Government Departments/ agencies, RWAs, CSOs, Urban Local Bodies/ Municipalities and general public regarding misconception about EMF radiations and its effect on health and so that no hindrance is created for development of mobile towers and telecommunication infrastructure to ensure best quality of services and network coverage to one and all.
