COIMBATORE: Residents of Kanthavel Nagar near Kalampalayam in Thettipalayam panchayat staged a protest on Thursday, demanding the district administration to take necessary steps to stop the ongoing work to set up a telecom tower in their area.
Only a few people turned out to register their protest because of the pandemic situation and they followed all the Covid-19 guidelines, including wearing face masks and maintaining social distancing.
Bennedita, one of the residents, said Kanthavel Nagar was a proper residential area with more than 200 families and two schools.
“When we came to know about a reputed telecom company’s plans to erect its tower in our area in February, we had petitioned the telecom department and panchayat officials, and pulled all the strings to stop the work temporarily.
But the company managed to obtain the work order from officials.” She said the company was carrying out works to install the tower for the past two days.
