Under new law 90% of telecom towers in Bengaluru may turn illegal

BENGALURU: Approximately 90% of telecom towers in the City are installed on buildings that do not have an occupancy certificate. Reason: There was no law making it compulsory for telecom operators to instal towers on buildings with occupancy certificate.

Ten days ago, the law changed. The state government’s new telecom tower policy will render the towers illegal unless it can be established by August 29 that they have been installed on buildings with occupancy certificates.
