Juhi Chawla Files Case Against 5G Networks In Delhi High Court, Cites Health Hazards

Actor-environmentalist Juhi Chawla on May 31 approached the Delhi High Court against the setting up of 5G wireless networks in the country, raising issues related to the radiation impact on citizens, animals, flora and fauna. The much-debated 5th-generation (5G) wireless network is set to be implemented in the next few years around the world. A section of the population has been against the use of this technology given its after-effects. Justice C Hari Shankar, before whom the matter came up for hearing, transferred the suit to another bench for hearing on June 2. Juhi Chawla said 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. These 5G plans threaten to provoke serious, irreversible effects on humans and permanent damage to all of the Earth's ecosystems, she said.
