 The Aam Aadmi Party demands a probe into the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) decision to allow installation of atleast 450 private telecom towers in its parks in residential areas across the national capital.
The AAP has received complaints from residents of Dwarka that in atleast 45 neighbourhood parks of the area, DDA granted permission to Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited on October 31 to set-up mobile telecom towers and the installation work has been started (Please find a copy of the DDA letter attached with this press release).
Acording to the DDA notification, it is clear that it is proposed to set-up atleast 450 such towers across Delhi (Please find the DDA notification attached with this release).
The DDA action violates the Rajasthan High Court judgment of November 2012, which was upheld by the Supreme Court that mobile towers cannot be installed in the vicinity of children playgrounds, schools and hospitals, citing emission of electromagnetic radiations.
It is clear that no installation which poses a health hazard can be allowed in any residential area and the DDA decision appears to have been made under pressure.       
According to the Rajasthan High Court verdict, upheld by the Supreme Court, radiations emitted from mobile base towers are “hazardous to children and elder citizens”. It had cited the findings of an inter-ministerial committee of the central government, and directed relocation of these towers immediately.
The AAP demands that the central government should immediately order a probe into why the DDA rushed through this controversial decision without consulting the residents of the area.

The Centre must direct the DDA to immediately stop installation of any further towers in parks adjoining residential areas.

No tower should be installed in violation of established guidelines and without consulting the residents of the area. 

Regards,
AAP Media cell
