He was exposed to this "radiation" for 14 years, something he firmly believes afflicted him with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
"We direct that the particular mobile tower shall be deactivated by BSNL within seven days from today," Justices Ranjan Gogoi and Navin Sinha ruled, according to Indian daily Times of India.

"Mobile towers are not harmful! Doesn't America have mobile towers? Doesn't Europe have mobile towers? There tele-density is much higher than in India. This planned campaign against [installation of] mobile towers is totally uncalled for" the minister had said. He repeated his statement, a year later because many consumers were still had concerns over the impact of mobile tower radiation.
