Carmona stops illegal mobile tower

News of an illegal mobile tower being built atop a new building right opposite Carmona Panchayat office forced the villagers to come at the scene to stop the work.

Villagers called the Sarpanch Sandra and other panch members to immediately direct the person concerned to prevent installation of the mobile tower atop the building. The owner of the building disappeared from the site and the contractor was forced by the people to stop the work immediately or face the wrath of the villagers.

It may be recalled that the village panchayat of Carmona and the gram sabha have passed separate resolutions to prevent mobile towers near residential areas after a wave of protests against two other tower companies. Villagers have vowed to stop any tower activity near their houses considering its negative impact on human health due to radiation.

The sarpanch promised the villagers not to allow the illegal tower to come up at any cost and will go by its past resolutions on mobile towers.
