September 08, 2013  15:10
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has admitted that nearly 50 per cent mobile towers across the city are illegal. 

"Fifty per cent mobile towers in the city are illegal. However, we have no locus-standi to act against the telecom towers for the excessive amount of radiation from them," BMC Commissioner Sitaram Kunte said during a meeting with Congress MP Priya Dutt along with the corporators from her party. 

The BMC had earlier carried out a drive to demolish the illegal mobile towers. 

However, the telecom companies approached the court, which gave a stay.
