Concerning Illegal Mobile Towers Near Bandra Schools.








Dear Mr. Kunte,

On behalf of the students, parents and the residents living in close proximity to buildings with mobile tower/antennae we write this letter. 
We would like to bring to your notice the issue of mobile tower antennae atop the following buildings:
1)      Sarkar Plaza, Hill Road, Bandra (W), Mumbai  400 050
2)      Al Bait Apartments, Waroda Road, Bandra (W), Mumbai  400 050
3)      Baba Nagar, Waroda Road, Bandra (W), Mumbai 400 050
4)      Abudallah House, Waroda Road, Bandra (W), Mumbai 400 050.

All these buildings go against the new Urban Development Department vide Notification dated 4th March 2014 (No TPS-1810/1975/CR NEW 65/12/DP/UD-13, Section 6 f Page 8) that has banned mobile towers in and around schools, hospitals and other such public institutions. 

You will no doubt agree that not only are these towers a hazard by themselves but the number of towers/antennae in such close proximity to each other makes the cumulative impact even greater.  

In study after study it has been proved that the impact of radiation on children and pregnant women is greatest and therefore we are gravely concerned about the collective health of the students in the surrounding schools – St. Stanislaus and St. Peter’s K.G.

As concerned government authorities we hope you will take a serious note of our complaint and resolve the matter in the shortest possible time.  The illegal towers/antennae must be removed with immediate effect before the effects of radiation begin to show on our young students and adversely affect the next generation.
Yours sincerely,
On behalf of the PTA, St. Stanislaus School, Bandra, Mumbai 400 050.

Dear Madam/Sir,
On behalf of the students, parents and the residents living in proximity to your building we write this letter. 
Over the past few months much has been written about the ill effects of electro- magnetic radiation especially from mobile tower antennae.  People living near these towers are adversely affected by a range of symptoms from sleeplessness, mood and behavioural problems and over the long term, permanent DNA damage, immune system imbalance and cancer.  (Ref: Internationally accepted, Bio-Initiative report 2012, researched by 29 independent scientists and health experts from 10 different countries).
Pregnant women and children are most vulnerable because of which the Urban Development Department vide Notification dated 4th March 2014 (No TPS-1810/1975/CR NEW 65/12/DP/UD-13, Section 6 f, page 8) has banned mobile towers in and around schools, hospitals and other such public institutions.  
We are concerned that inspite of this notification your building antennae/ towers directly face the primary section and laboratories of the school and play ground.  Posing a serious threat to the health of our young children and staff and the neighbourhood children who play in the grounds post school hours. 
Further as per the new amendment to section 79 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act the onus of health hazards from the mobile towers is on co-operative housing society who has installed the towers/ antennae. 
It is with deep concern and worry we write to you urging you to view this serious public health threat and speak to the operators about removing the school facing towers with immediate effect. 
We would be very happy to provide more information about the issue to you and your residents. 
Yours sincerely,
