Noida: The residents of Sector 55 Noida vigorously opposed the installation of a mobile tower in their locality on Tuesday. Residents protested and stopped the employees from carrying out the work.
A resident of Sector 55 informed us, “The Noida authority is installing a mobile tower in the central park of the sector, where children play badminton, volleyball, and other outdoor games. The place is also used for yoga and walks by the senior citizens.” The residents also said that the tower emits harmful rays.
Gajendra Singh Bansal, President of RWA Sector 55, said, “We requested the authority not to install the mobile tower in the central park as it emits harmful radiation. We also spoke to the senior officer of the horticulture department of the authority regarding the issue, but to no avail.”
