HUBLI: Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation is planning to fix and collect tax from mobile service provider companies which have microwave towers in the HDMC limits.
About 200 mobile towers are operating in HubliDharwad twin cities without any valid permission from the HDMC authorities. Many of them are located on top of houses or commercial complexes. Each tower has a micro wave tower of over 30 foot height, an antenna and a powerback generator housed in about 30x40 sq ft area.

They were constructed by the mobile service provider companies with 10 to 20year lease agreement with the building or site owner. HDMC authorities confirmed that neither the mobile companies nor the site or building owners apply to the civic body seeking permission to install or operate the towers.

Following this, the HDMC sent a proposal with the draft of byelaws concerned and seeking permission to levy tax from the mobile microwave tower operators.

He said that he had requested commissioners of these civic bodies for technical details on the bylaws.
