We own a property in Bangalore. We are currently facing a problem where High Voltage towers are being shifted very close to our property wall to felicitate the construction of high rises next to our property. Basically when we purchased our property (gated community) the HT towers were about 200 mts from our wall and going in a direction away from us. The land adjacent to us was also purchased by our builder with plans to develop villas there too. In fact one of the sales pitch was that since they own the land we do not have to worry about any high rises coming there. Now three years later they are developing that into a concrete jungle with 19 towers coming up right behind us and to felicitate the sales of the highrises they got the the HT towers shifted to our side. Now we have towers already installed 3 mts from our wall running parallel to our boundary.
As per them all safety norms have been met and 3.5 mts or so is the minimum required clearance. The problem for us is we cannot prove in anyway the builder had promised villas behind us and not high rises. And if we go to court to shift the tower to another side BESCOM would say the safety standards are met at this location too. Several of the residents are worried about the safety aspects since there are many studies showing some health hazard for living near HT lines. More than that is the devaluation the property is going to face with these ugly towers and wires running right behind us. None of us would have purchased this property if the HT lines were running right behind us.
Searching on net showed Pashmina Waterfront had HT lines running through the property and had a court order to change it. I was wondering if anyone can suggest a way to get out of our problem. Thanks
