DoT to Launch Portal That Lets You Check Radiation Status of Mobile Towers

To allay the fears of the general public on mobile tower radiation, the Department of Telecom (DoT) will unveil a portal soon to check radiation compliance status of towers, Union Minister Manoj Sinha said on Saturday.

Speaking at an awareness programme organised here on Electromagnetic Field Emissions and Mobile Towers, the Union Minister of State for Communications told media persons: "The portal - Tarang Sanchar - is expected to be operational by next month."

With its help, people will be able to check the current status of a mobile tower located anywhere in the country as well as its electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions signal compliance status.

However, it does not come free as a fee would be charged for the test of a particular tower.

"The tests are usually conducted on random basis by us, but if someone wants a particular tower tested, then it can be carried out for a fee," Telecom Secretary J.S. Deepak said at the event, organised under the aegis of the Ministry of Communications.

According to Deepak, a fee of Rs. 5,000 would be charged for conducting an on-demand test of a specific tower.
