Fake NOC claims govt has given permission to install mobile tower
People are receiving fake NOCs (No Objection Certificates) in the name of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to install mobile towers seeking ₹2,500 as agreement fees. The fact-checking unit of PIB took to X and clarified that DoT is not directly or indirectly involved in issuing NOCs for the purpose. "Be wary of mobile tower installation frauds," it added.
