LUDHIANA: Residents, shopkeepers and students staged a protest at Kakowal Road in Punjab's Ludhiana against a mobile tower in the area on Tuesday.
The students, while holding placards, requested the civic authorities to take action against the person who had allowed the mobile tower at a residential building, "violating bylaws".
The residents claimed that installation of the mobile tower was stopped earlier, but the work had re-started.

A resident, Rajesh Kumar, said that the mobile tower was installed at the terrace of a shop which was constructed in 60 square yards of a three-storey building against the rules, because this is a residential area and it will be unsafe to install the mobile tower in a congested place.
Another resident of area Ravinder Kumar claimed that a school is located where mobile tower is being installed. He said if mobile tower is installed, it will affect the health of these school students.
Assistant town planner Harvinder Honey said, “The mobile tower was installed in 2014 and NOC was issued by the municipal corporation. We had sent the building inspector to check the location and owner showed the documents.”
