To:
Shri Arvind Kejriwal,
Chief Minister of NCT Delhi
Dear Chief Minister,
It is no coincidence that Mr. Chandraker Bharti was brought to Delhi and installed as a Secretary in GNCTD by the L-G, Shri Najeeb Jung, who is himself an old Mukesh Ambani hand, eg. see:
2) How Ambani's Reliance corrupted the system
Death by Breath: For generators, rules in place but no one to enforce them
We therefore expect that you will personally inquire into why the specific Reliance JIO mobile tower I have complained about is still functioning exclusively on diesel genset despite it being within 500m of a leading hospital, at least 4 top education institutes and within a peaceful residential area. FYI, the details of your officer's corrupt inactions are in the attached trail mails.

Sir
It is very strange that no effective action has been taken by you on
my complaint, and neither has it been acknowledged by your office with
a clear time to resolution timeline. Merely forwarding my complaint to
the non-functioning DPCC is as good as taking no action at all and
such inaction is not expected from a popular government.
In these circumstances, I am again calling upon you to immediately
direct that the polluting installation I described is promptly shut
down until its poisonous emissions cease and since the aforesaid
polluting installation is also within a 500 metre radius of at least 1
major hospital and 4 prestigious educational institutions in the heart
of Delhi's diplomatic area.
sincerely

Subject: COMPLAINT of highly polluting portable mobile towers
To: senv@nic.in
To:
The Secretary
Dept of Environment
Govt. NCT Delhi
Respected Sir
I wish to complain that a mobile telecom operator M/s Reliance JIO or
suchlike is recently installing thousands of mobile telecom towers all
over New Delhi which are running on powerful diesel gensets throughout
the day and night and which I apprehend are polluting the atmosphere
and environment and responsible for sharp rise in PM 2.5 and PM 10
particulate matters in Delhi.
By way of example I am enclosing 2 photographs of a trailer with
Maharashtra registration number "MH.42.T 1319" which is permanently
stationed on Dr. Jose Rizal Marg (Chanakyapuri) near Palestine Embassy
since about July 2016 and which is continuously operating a very
powerful diesel generator set spewing pollutants to power a mobile
antenna attached to it.
It is not clear why these rigs are not taking temporary or permanent
connections from the DISCOMS like NDMC or BSES and are vitiating the
atmosphere by running almost continuously on highly polluting diesel
gensets only occasionally supplemented by battery systems.
Accordingly, I would be obliged if you would issue directions to shut
down all these diesel generator based temporary mobile towers whose
proliferation I apprehend to be a major cause of rise in PM2.5 and PM
10 SPM pollutants in Delhi.
I am caused to approach you post haste since the State Air Control
Board (ie. DPCC) is completely defunct and is not monitoring SPM data
in Delhi since 2009, as evidenced by their website documents which I
have downloaded today and am attaching herewith.
Since it is a life threatening matter, I trust you will promptly
acknowledge this email, and take action immediately or within 1 week
in any case.
sincerely
