The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has also decided that operators will
have to submit location certificates along with a no objection certificate from the
housing society management or occupants of the chosen building while
submitting the proposal for a licence, which is a first.
“Based on the guidelines of the Union department of telecommunications, we have decided that no mobile towers will be installed on educational institutions and hospitals,” BMC chief Sitaram Kunte said.
The city has at least 1,830 illegal mobile towers, many of which are atop hospitals, schools and colleges. The BMC has pulled down only 140 of them as the Bombay high court has stayed the demolition of illegal towers. “We are waiting for the court to vacate the stay, which has prevented us from taking action against illegal towers,” Kunte said.
