NEW DELHI: Fear of radiation is leading to mobile towers being shut in the richest localities of central Delhi, a trend that's likely to affect connectivity in the heart of Lutyens Delhi.

On Monday, a mobile tower at Aurangzeb Road was dismantled and operations of two towers at Amrita Shergill Marg were halted, claim cellular operators. With two towers at Tata Sadan to be switched off on February 28, cellular operators say, connectivity is going to be severely affected in this exclusive enclave.
