The Rajasthan Government has issued notices to all major mobile phone operators asking them to keep radiation from their towers within the newly prescribed limits. Installation of towers at school buildings, playgrounds, hospitals and within 500 metres of the jail premises has been banned.

State Principal Urban Development and Housing Secretary G. S. Sandhu said here on Sunday that a new policy on mobile phone towers adopted by the State Government had set the limit for radiations emitted by the towers of both 2G and 3G technology to 10 per cent of their previous levels. The policy, which will be in force till the by-laws are framed, has been sent to all urban local bodies.
