The Meghalaya High Court has directed the state health department to investigate the matter after a plea was filed attaching evidence for the issue
SP Das had recently filed a plea in the Meghalaya High Court attaching details of violations by the telecommunication companies in the state. This has lead to the High Court issuing orders to the state health department to find out the adverse impact of mobile tower radiation, if any, for people residing close to the mobile towers.
After hearing the plea, the court had earlier summoned 3 telecommunication companies and also rejected an inspection report submitted by Telecom Enforcement, Resource and Monitoring (TERM) NE-1 director Kulwinder Kumar.
As reported by PTI,
It observed, "We do not find any information as to the limit of emission of radiation by the towers and the equipment being used for measuring the radiation before giving the findings that all the parameters are within the limit".
