Amid the continuing stalemate over telecom towers atop houses in Noida near here, sectoral regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) today said it is planning to come up with a consultation paper on among other things identification of locations for setting up towers.

The paper will also seek opinion from the stakeholders on the future projections of telecom tower requirements for better coverage, Trai said in statement.

It will also highlight the issues of safe radiation from mobile towers and encourage alternate source of energy for the tower to reduce pollution.

The stakeholders must send their comments by February 26, 2010, during the pre-consultation stage, it added.

Trai had come up with a pre-consultation paper on January 12, 2010 seeking comments on various issues of towers.

Beginning this month, the authorities in Noida sealed nearly 200 telecom towers installed in residential areas, thus hampering the service in the area.
