NEW DELHI: The Department of Telecom (DoT) has asked its monitoring wing TERM to carry out a media campaign to allay “undue apprehensions” about possible health effects of radiation from telecom towers.

In a letter to Telecom Enforcement Resource and Monitoring (TERM) Cells, the DoT said the Gujarat High Court has directed, through a judgement, that necessary steps be taken regarding awareness of general public to mitigate their general fear and apprehension about radiation from towers.

A committee appointed by the DoT has recommended use of renewable energy like Solar, wind, biomass, fuel cells, hybrid power systems and battery technologies to power the telecom towers in the country. The committee was appointed for recommending Implementation of Renewable Energy Technology in the Telecom Sector’. The recommendations, if implemented will reduce the cost for diesel, petrol etc. which is presently used and which is very costly.Further the pollution and green-house gases which are unhealthy can be reduced. BSNL spends huge amount towards fuel like diesel and petrol and also electricity which expenditure is only next to salary of the employees. BSNL Management should take this opportunity to change in to the renewable energy for its towers, numbering more than 62,000. There are 5.85 lakhs total towers in the country.
