Smt. Gunjan Dave, Sr. DDG, DoT, Gujarat LSA mentioned that with the increase in the numbers of mobile users there is also a need to increase the number of mobile towers to cater seamless mobile connectivity to all. If we compare the era of evolving GSM technology to the current scenario of 4G mobile network, now every single mobile user is enjoying improved telecommunication services which includes e-learning through various online platform, attending classes/ offices from home, OTT services, using mobile phones for various payments and bookings. Speaking about the standards defined by Govt. of India regarding mobile tower emissions, it was informed that India is one of the few countries worldwide with the most stringent emission standards for mobile towers.
Sh. Ajatshatru Somani, DDG, DoT, Gujarat LSA further addressed that the norms mandated by the Department of Telecom (DoT) is 1/10th of the norms mandated by international regulatory bodies such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). ICNIRP guidelines are regarded as the most credible and are followed by the 95% countries across the world. Various judgements of High Courts of India on the issues of radiation from mobile tower says 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.
Dr. Arun Chougule shared his perspective and cleared misconceptions associated with mobile tower radiations. Despite extensive scientific investigation, no link between mobile tower radiation and human health has been discovered. Cell towers generate extremely low-powered non-ionizing radiation that has no detrimental health effects on humans or animals. Following investigations, the WHO has concluded that there is no risk to human health from mobile tower radiation.
