The Indian environment industry released a study showing that mobile phone masts are affecting birds and bees. The expert group, under Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) director Asad Rahmani, reviewed 919 studies done in India and abroad on the ill effects of mobile towers in animal, birds and insects. 593 showed the negative impact of mobile towers on birds, bees, human, wildlife and plants.
The expert group suggested that the government introduce a law for the protection of urban flora and fauna from emerging threats of electromagnetic radiation.
"New towers should not be permitted within a radius of one kilometre of existing towers. If new towers must be built, construct them to be above 80 feet and below 199 feet ... to avoid the requirement for aviation safety lighting, strictly control installation of mobile towers near wildlife protected areas." They also recommended that public consultation should be made mandatory before the installation of cell phones towers in any area.
The groups also suggested displaying bold signs and messages on the dangers of cell phone tower and radiation which is emitted from it in and around the structures where the towers are erected.
