"People were misled into thinking a high-mast street light was being installed, but instead, a mobile tower was erected. Residents strongly opposed it, warning about health risks and potential danger," he added further.

Locals said the tower was installed without their permission; earlier, they were told that street lights would be installed. The tower's fall damaged many trees and electric wires.
