Bollywood
star
Juhi
Chawla
has
filed
a
suit
against
setting
up
of
5G
wireless
networks
in
the
country.
The
actress
who
is
also
an
environmentalist,
said
while
she
is
not
against
technological
advancements,
there
are
sufficient
reasons
to
believe
that
the
radiation
is
extremely
harmful
and
injurious
to
the
health
and
safety
of
the
people.
As
per
a
report
in
NDTV,
Justice
C
Hari
Shankar
who
heard
this
matter
at
Delhi
High
Court
on
Monday,
has
transferred
the
suit
to
another
bench
for
hearing
on
June
2.
An
Indian
Express
report
quoted
Juhi
as
saying,
"We
are
not
against
the
implementation
of
technological
advancements.
On
the
contrary,
we
enjoy
using
the
latest
products
that
the
world
of
technology
has
to
offer,
including
in
the
field
of
wireless
communications.
However,
whilst
using
the
latter
kind
of
devices,
we
are
in
a
constant
dilemma,
because
after
doing
our
own
research
and
studies
regarding
the
RF
radiation
from
wirefree
gadgets
and
network
cell
towers,
we
have
sufficient
reason
to
believe
that
the
radiation
is
extremely
harmful
and
injurious
to
the
health
and
safety
of
the
people."
Juhi
Chawla's
spokesperson
in
an
official
statement,
shared
that
the
suit
has
directed
the
concerned
department
to
certify
that
5G
technology
is
safe
for
humankind
and
all
kinds
of
animals
and
birds.
Their
argument
revolves
around
the
belief
that
if
the
telecommunications
industry's
plans
for
5G
come
to
fruition,
no
person,
no
animal,
no
bird,
no
insect
and
no
plant
on
Earth
will
be
able
to
avoid
exposure,
24
hours
a
day,
365
days
a
year,
to
levels
of
RF
radiation
that
are
10x
to
100x
times
greater
than
what
exists
in
present
times.
"The
present
suit
is
being
instituted
in
order
to
seek
a
direction
from
this
Hon'ble
court
to
the
arrayed
Defendants,
to
certify
to
us
and,
therefore,
to
the
public
at
large,
that
5G
technology
is
safe
to
humankind,
man,
woman,
adult,
child,
infant,
animals
and
every
type
of
organisms,
to
flora,
to
fauna,
and
in
support
thereof,
to
produce
their
respective
studies
regarding
RF
radiation
through
mobile
cell
towers,
and
if
not
already
conducted,
to
also
conduct
an
efficient
research,
and
without
participation
of
private
interest,
and
to
subsequently
furnish
the
report
and
declare
whether
or
not
the
implementation
of
5G
in
India
would
be
safe,
keeping
in
regards
the
health
and
safety
of
the
present
and
future
citizenry
on
India,
including
little
children
and
infants,
as
well
as
infants
of
generations
to
come,"
the
statement
read.
