To, All The Editors in Goa, Our Chief Minister LAXMIKANT PARSEKAR is giving threats to villagers and telling them not to worry about the radiation on cell towers. This is not acceptable to the villagers as well as the Gram Sabba and the Panchayat members from South Goa. In view of importance of international world Brick submit the villagers accepted for a temporary erection of tower but not permanent. At the cost of health hazards this situation by giving threats for erecting towers should not be made by the Chief Minister of Goa. It is not right as lots of scientific studies are available on radiation. He has challenged that there is no radiation hazard and demanded that a Tower will be installed near his cabin as a test, where he is siting at the Secretariat thus defying that nothing will happen to him. Result of radiation if any, will be known much later and not immediate. As per the experts data is available on scientific studies say that the radiation will not take place near a certain area closer to the tower because that becomes a "shadow zone" and transmission of radiation power will not be affected in that zone or lobe, hence the radiation will be only to others away from that zone and those who are within the shadow zone will be safe including himself. That is the concept of theory of radiation and it is an international theory on radiation technique and no experimentation is required.
Please see the quote from Chief Minister of Goa: QUOTE FROM HERALDO: ------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parsekar categorically said, “ There is no link between mobile tower radiation and health hazard. That we have to accept. We are a progressive State.” The Chief Minister said he has instructed the chief secretary to erect a mobile tower in the Assembly complex closest to his cabin. “ Let that experimentation be done on me,” he said ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stephen Dias Dona Paula DATE; 22.9.2016
