According to the residents, the mobile phone tower is erected without obtaining permission from Bhironda Panchayat and school building is situated near the tower.
"The tower was erected without giving any information to the panchayat and the locals. As it is harmful to the school children, the tower should be removed as early as possible," said a resident.
The residents said a memorandum has been submitted to the panchayat and the panchayat claimed that no permission was given to the said tower. A local youth, Umesh Rane raised concern over the mobile phone tower and said it should be removed within eight days failing which they will knock the doors of the court.

"The residents have submitted a memorandum objecting to the erection of the mobile phone tower in the village and the panchayat has decided to initiate action against it," said the sarpanch.
