As a sequel to report “Action against ‘illegal’ mobile towers within 15 days” that appeared in ADC on September 05 and October 6, 2015 about 17 illegal mobile towers in Daseshwar Coop Housing Society, located at Walkeshwar in South Mumbai, on Friday, Reliance Jio (4 G) demolished the mobile towers as per the directions of the BMC. It may be recalled that BMC’s D ward had issued the notice No D ward /MRTP55/1998/2015 dated 29 September, 2015 to Bharat Kothary and Harshad Choksey, working committee members of the Daseshwar CHS Ltd to demolish the illegal antennae within 15 days or else the unauthorised work would be demolished without any notice by the BMC.

The 17 illegal mobile antennae were installed on the terrace of the society. Ironically the society is located very close to the official residence of Industries minister Subhash Desai.

The society constructed in 1972 had only one tower till 2012. However, subsequently the number grew with three Base Tower Stations (BTS) with 17 mobile tower antennae, in the area which was reserved for the children play area earlier. Based on the complaint by the residents, the D ward officials had inspected the 7 storey building, having 14 flats and had assured the residents of an appropriate action in the matter.
