Kochi, September 24, 2021 – Telecommunication services have been playing an extremely important role in our economy and especially during disasters. During the Covid-19 pandemic, a global health crisis, telecom services played a major role in maintaining not only the continuity and functioning of administrative machinery, but also economic and industrial activities apart from facilitating ‘work from home’, education, news, entertainment, social networking, and keeping friends and family connected. The need for telecom services have gone up in an unprecedented manner due to this.

To continue providing seamless connectivity for the growing demand for telecom services and for upgrading to new mobile technologies like 5G, there is an immediate need for faster deployment of towers to expand and improve the coverage. This calls for speedy deployment of towers to expand and improve the coverage. However, due to misconceptions and misinformation, public at some locations are apprehensive whenever a tower is proposed in a residential area. Hence there is an acute and urgent need to create awareness about the reality about radiation from mobile towers.

In this regard, DoT Kerala LSA (Field Unit of Department of Telecom, Ministry of Communications, Government of India) is organizing an online EMF Exposure Awareness Workshop on 28^th September, 2021 at 11am.
