What our Managers selling ?

The Key Performance Indicators of Marketing of Kerala Circle displays pathetic numerics. The cliché of "aggressive marketing" still keeps vague for the embellished bureaucratic redundancy.

BSNL LAUNCHES 3G SERVICES @ SABARIMALA

DoT TERM Cell caught napping at Sabarimala

The antennas installed by certain private cellular phone providers on the Pampa-Sannidhanam trekking path are posing alarming health risk to pilgrims, by reportedly emitting hazardous radiation, experts say.

Antennas have been installed on the sides of the trekking path at Appachimedu, violating rules specified in the Indian Telecommunications Act, according to them. Stipulations for such installations were set by the Telephone Equipment Resource Management (TERM) cell attached to Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and they too were flouted.

Pilgrims passing by antennas installed at such a low height are exposed to point-to-point electro-magnetic radiation, not to speak of the radiation threat facing wild animals in the Periyar Tiger Reserve. An antenna has been installed very close to a shop at Attathode near Nilackal on the main trunk road to Sabarimala. Neither the Department of Telecommunications nor the Public Health authorities has taken note of the health risks involved. The Travancore Devaswom Board and the State Pollution Control Board too have not initiated any action.

Only BSNL has optical fibre cable connectivity between Pampa and Sannidhanam
