“TRAI approval letter for installation of cell phone tower seeking money from the landowner for commercial registration of land”
What FACTLY found
This is a fraudulent letter. Neither TRAI nor DoT is involved in the installation of mobile towers. Licensed Telecom Service Providers (TSP) and Infrastructure Providers (IP-1), who are responsible for mobile tower installations, usually do not ask for money from the property owner. Several people from across the country have lost money by believing in such fake offers
