Hi Blaise! We have never met. I live in California. Alfred your wife's brother was a very good friend of mine and we were room mates for a few years in Bombay. I have watched with pride his children growing up. And this is why I am writing to you. Now I watched with interest as the mobile tower situation in Saligao, has developed from what should have been a coming together of minds for the greater good of the community. Instead this has developed into mudslinging between people who have formerly come together for the well being of the community. I am saddened! I too welcome change and am open to business but do believe in eco-sensitive and eco-sustainable development. Now this what has transpired in Abreu vaddo is not exactly a eco sensitive development, as the human settlement in the place has been there much before any consideration for a tower. Now you may all debunk each other and throw out challenges and mud in a very non-chalant way destroying the community as you go along. There is much to be said for non sponsored science. I mean the science that has not been funded by industry. In science that has been funded by the telecommunication industry, they of course will have a biased opinion. The one that is friendly in outlook to their industry. Now this same industry puts in millions of dollars into government coffers around the world. That is why this industry has developed at such a fast pace. To date they do not clearly know the consequences of this rampant surge. Now the 2 sides in this argument from my perspective are:1. People who want improvement no matter what the cost to themselves and their community, People not sensitive to community sensitivity and community risk or human eco sensitivity. People motivated only by egos and $$$$$.2. People who are averse to being subjected to the health hazards of the telecom industry.People open to change and modernization with proper risk management and eco-sensitivity. Both goals could be met if sane minds prevail. All it takes is to have the tower located 500 mts from Human habitation. That is all the community is asking for. I agree with you as that you should work together to have government standards on location of towers. But the fight has to start somewhere and this is ground zero to have exactly those standards set in place. I will now quote an expert in the field of Radio submission and Electro-magnetic submission.He has worked 16 years in this field for military and industrial applications. He is my brother, Mariano, in Melbourne, Australia. He says(about the people in Saligao) " they just don't understand how severe the consequences of exposure from cell phones and towers are. I for one use the cell phone as sparsely as possible". My brother has been warning me of the consequences since the advent of the cell phone business. I personally try to use the cell only for text and advise all to do the same Mario of course has already detailed all the related consequences to the human mind and body and these are from unbiased scientific studies around the world. Yet you seem intent to throwing out challenges instead of working with this community to begin to start some sort of standard for the location of mobile towers away from residential communities in Saligao and Goa. Just because it happens in the rest of Goa, does not mean it has to happen in the educated community of Saligao as well. Mario, Gerard, Ashley, Maurice, Rico and all those involved in this argument. You are all friends of mine and I consider community leaders in Goa. C. D'Mello and V. Cordeiro, Blaise I do not know personally but know their families. Please lets get together and do something about this and get together a managed risk and an eco-sensitive solution. My personal stake in this is that my good friend Alfred's children not suffer from consequences from exposure as they live within the 500 mts limit of the proposed tower. Hope sane minds prevail !! Yours in community!Chris De SouzaSan Francisco Bay Area.

To: saligao-net@googlegroups.com Date: Saturday, April 7, 2012, 12:21 AM FNPls come to my home in Fatorda, I can show you the tower.I would find it hard to believe that in Goa we can set up towers 500 mts away from any residential property and yet use the mobile phone. In Mumbai too next to impossible. in Mumbai they sit on top of residential buildings by the dozens.So basically we have to make a choice Mobile phone or no mobile phone. Not tower or no tower. Alternatively you show me a tower and I will show you a hose within the 500 mts radius. I repeat what we need the Government to come up with is regulations as to where the towers can be set up. I think we can go on talking till the cows come home and beyond as like smoking which we know kills but it is indulged in anyway. So also I would like to use a mobile phone despite its hazards and the younger generation cannot do without the same even for 5 secs at a time. Have a nice day.
