Can you imagine a single day without your cell-phone? No Facebook, no twitter and no emails? Even though it might sound bizarre to some, but most of us spend a good amount of time on our mobiles. But everything comes at a price, isn’t it? Cell phones are no different! Even though cell phones make our life a lot easier, the damage that is caused by the radiations is harmful. While we never took this seriously, Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan joined the movement against cellphone operators and was part of a silent march that was held in Mumbai. It was after Irrfan moved to his new apartment in the Western suburbs of Mumbai, that he noticed the installation of three new mobile towers. After analyzing the drastic effects of cellphone radiations on the fellow residents living in the near-by area and considering the growing concern of the flip side of mobile phones, Irrfan was worried about the radiations emitting from the network towers.

Sending across a peace message and requesting the operators to keep the towers away from residential areas, especially the locations where schools and hospitals are situated, here’s what Irrfan Khan said about being a part of the movement:

"We all need mobile phones to work in this day and age. However, our mobile network towers need to be planned with better consideration to residential areas, parks, schools, hospitals etc. This is a dire need with today's increasing health conditions leading to complications due to the radiation. Starting with simple symptoms like headaches, dizziness up to diagnosis of cancer as witnessed in the Ushakiran building case and numerous other cases.

We can only create awareness and urge people to join us in this movement.
