Mobile companies in the city are running thousands of unauthorised towers and even constructing new ones in connivance with officers of the three municipal corporations. According to the data with the three corporations in the city, over 2,800 mobile towers are unauthorised and are running without permission.
‘The mobile companies are erecting new towers without getting approval of the civic bodies. They are working in connivance with officers of the civic bodies and don’t bother about the complains,’ said Sanjay Jain, member of the standing committee in East DMC area.
Jain added that despite his complain to the commissioner, one tower in his ward was completed and another is being erected.
According to the corporation, East DMC has 1,243 towers out of which 588 are illegal. Similarly, the councillors of the civic body claim that their complains against the mobile companies go unheard. The city has a total of 6219 mobile towers out of which 2817 are unauthorised.
