MUMBAI: The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) has welcomed the Kerala High Court order stating that there was no evidence of adverse effects on people's health due to EMF emissions from the antennas on mobile towers (mobile towers). The court, according to COAI had further stated that mobile telecommunication towers being harmful to people was a debatable subject across the world.
The landmark order was pronounced in response to a writ petition (WP 24569/2012) filed by Indus Towers Limited seeking police protection for erecting towers at Peringmala in Nedumangad, Kerala. The earlier full bench and division bench judgments held there is no proof that mobile towers cause health hazards and directed the police to provide police protection against the obstruction and interference caused by objectors.
In its order, the Kerala High Court has stated that telecom towers affecting the health of people was an issue still being debated across the world and prima facie there was no evidence linking any harmful effects of Telecom Towers on human health. According to Kerala HC if a company had obtained the necessary licences and permits, they could be obstructed from erecting and commissioning towers.
Commenting on the order, Rajan S Mathews, Director General COAI, said: "We welcome the decision of the Honourable High Court of Kerala. We are fully committed to the sensitivities and concerns of our customers and believe that this landmark order will debunk several myths propagated by certain groups. I am sure the verdict of the Kerala High Court will go a long way in the removal of fears about the safety of EMF emission from telecom towers all across India. He further added that citizens of India now enjoy safety limits on EMF emission lower than citizens in over 90 % of the countries of the world, post the Government of India lowering the safety limits by 90% last September, for "abundant caution".
India's mobile industry complies and conforms to norms mandated by the Department of Telecom (DoT) which lowered by 90%, 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 95% of the countries across the world. It should also be noted that the DoT made such a reduction of the ICNIRP levels entirely as a measure of abundant precaution as there is no conclusive scientific evidence till date which links EMF emissions from mobile towers to health hazards.
