Signal woes? Building bylaws bar mobile towers in residential areas

NEW DELHI: The new unified building bylaws that may make it easier to obtain permits could worsen signal problems for mobile phone users.
The new bylaws say there should be no mobile phone towers in residential areas.
This has led to confusion among the municipal corporations as almost 80% of such towers are believed to be in residential areas.
“No signage/communication tower and advertisement is to be provided in residential buildings,” the bylaws state.
Union urban development minister M Venkaiah Naidu released the new unified building bylaws for Delhi on Tuesday. Apart from simplifying procedures, these have reduced public-official interaction to reduce corruption.
“Going by the new bylaws, there should be no mobile towers in residential areas. Considering that only 20% of the total mobile towers fall in non-residential areas, this may lead to cellular problems,” said a high-ranking municipal official. Officials said they would either wait for an order from the high court in an ongoing case or approach the Centre for clarification.
Mobile phone operators approached the high court in 2010 after the corporation changed its policy regarding the establishment of such towers. The case is still pending. “A lot of things have to be kept in mind while implementing the bylaws. They might require certain modifications so that the public is not hassled,” said Ashish Sood, leader of the house, South Delhi Municipal Corporation.
Technical experts say call drops occur due to an increase in the number of dead zones. These zones are a result of either fewer mobile towers in range or due to hindrance in the signal. Towers have a range of 5 km . You lose signal when you are either out of range or in a ‘dead zone’.
The three municipal corporations say the total number of mobile towers under their jurisdiction is 7,926.
Officials, however, argue that the total number of unauthorised towers are more than half of that.
“The total number of mobile towers before trifurcation was 5,252. However, the number has increased exponentially in the past three years near residential areas,” said a municipal official.
Officials argue that while most new towers violate building bylaws, for others, the corporation has not been paid.

Single-window clearance for construction plans in Delhi

For residential plots up to 105 square meters, the owner need not obtain sanction of building plans.

In a significant policy shift in Delhi’s building by-laws, the Union Urban Development Ministry on Wednesday announced “single-window clearance” for construction plans for both residential and commercial properties within a month, while exempting owners of residential plots up to 105 square meters from seeking sanction of building plan.

“The laws have been made user-friendly through unification and simplification of a host of amendments made over the last three decades and integration of approvals by different agencies into a single platform,” said Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu at a press conference here. “The new process would reduce human interface and enable approvals in just 30 days,” he added.

For residential plots up to 105 square meters, the owner need not obtain sanction of building plans. “You (owner) can just submit an undertaking intimating about construction along with requisite fees and other documents to start construction,” said Mr. Naidu, while explaining the new amendments.

Previously, applicants had to go through a cumbersome process to get sanction of building plans as it involved scrutiny and approvals from various government agencies such as the National Monuments Authority, Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, Delhi Fire Services and the Airports Authority of India.

With the modification of the building by-laws, an applicant can now file one single online application to the concerned urban local body.

Highlighting another key amendment in the laws, Aishwar Rao, the chief spokesperson of the Ministry, said that payments for obtaining approvals from various departments have also been consolidated in the same online form. “With a click of your mouse, you can make one single payment electronically,” said Mr. Rao.

The amendments come in the light of the World Bank’s “ease of doing business” ranking of 2015, in which India is at the 130th position.

A senior official in Urban Development Ministry told The Hindu that a directive came from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office asking Mr. Naidu to “simplify” the process of granting permits to new constructions. The final goal, the official said, is to gain the confidence of foreign investors by creating a “smart” urban infrastructure.

After Delhi, Mr. Naidu said that Mumbai would also unify its building by-laws. “After these two major cities (Delhi and Mumbai) we would ask other cities to follow suit,” he added.
