Subject: Pending follow-up up to North Goa Telecom Comittee meeting on mobile towers radiation Health Hazzards dated 08 February 2024

Dear Madam/Sir,

I the undersigned Mr. Ashok Bablo Gawas resident of Gullem New Colony, Morlem Sattari, Goa is the complainant against mobile tower installed near Government Primary School Morlem, Sattari, Goa.

Meeting of North Goa District Telecom Committee was held on 8 February 2024 at 11.30 am at conference hall of North Goa collectorate building, Panaji, Goa, under the chairmanship of North Goa Collector Sneha Gitte. Several deposition against mobile towers were presented in addition to mine.

Several issues regarding mobile towers radiation on health effects were raised and discussed. These includes Morlem - Sattari, Guirim in Bardez, and Kumbharjua, Navelim-Divar and Siridao in Tiswadi.

Mobile tower installed near Government Primary School, Morlem is hardly 50 meters away causing grave risk to the young students and staff of the school. This fact was brought to the attention during the meeting.

Now more than seven months have passed by and mobile tower still stands where it was posing grave radiation risks to young lives. There seems to be no follow action from your office nor from the office the Director, Information and Technology, Government of Goa under whose purview North Goa Disctrict Telecom Comittee supposed to function.

I have also came to know that there have been no action taken on complaints to your office from people in Guirim, Navelim- Divar, and Kumbharjua too. No mobile towers objected as above have been shut down. This is very serious issue that is triggering collapse of Public Health in Goa and your delays to initiate action is cause of worry.

You are requested to initiate actions against the following mobile towers urgently with any further delay:

1. Mobile tower at Gullem Colony, Morlem, Sattari

2. Mobile Tower at Kumbharjua, Tiswadi

3. Mobile tower at Guirim, Bardez

4. Mobile Tower at Navelim-Divar, Tiswadi.

Kindly notify the undersigned at above address on what action is being taken or pursued. 

Thanking you.

Yours Sincerely, 

Ashok Gawas

Convenor
