Dear All,

Editors may please bring to the public this information;

Comments made by Nelson Dias in one of the section of press, is not
acceptable in toto.  I have no issue whatever people make comments because
in a democratic set up  everyone has right to talk and write. Perhaps he is
partially right and I admit a certain comment. Now let me give him an
explanation::

1. It is true that, the more the towers better is the coverage.
I say, provided they are all within the limits of guidelines set up by the
TRAI and International, WHO norms etec.
 That way one tower could have been sufficient  and in that case high power
was needed to cover up the whole area of 120 towers, as now planned for a
Briccs Summit. But what would be the consequences?  Almost 90% cases of
patients would be turned out  to be cancerous. In laymen words, say 1000 or
more towers would be the best coverage and no cancer would be reported,
provided it is at minimal power. But considering the cost for highest
single radiation tower, the  cost for 120  towers would be much more.. That
is the reason exact or best compromise is worked out by the planners.
But who is going to measure these radiations in  Goa? Does anybody in Goa
even at the Government level are equipped with such devices/apparatus  for
measurement?
3. To be in a safer side it is advisable  not to have towers at all,  if
they cannot measure and regulate the radiation emissions.
4. Definitely I find some ulterior motives, moves and interest by the top
authorities to see that in the name of Briccs Summit these 120 towers will
come into existence and may remain there permanently grounded  and that
Goans will have to gulp it up for their life time.
5. No doubt  Briccs summit needs good coverage as  international leaders
will participate in the summit being  a world prestigious event. We need to
give best for them.
These leaders will be  here for a few days ( may be only 2 days) and the
radiation whether high or low will not affect none of them but if these
towers remain permanent and uncontrolled transmissions,  than our Goans
have to gulp it and who knows how many of them will get cancer?
