Bollywood actor Juhi Chawla Monday has filed a lawsuit in the Delhi High Court against the implementation of 5G wireless network in India, raising her concerns on the radiation impact on citizens, animals, flora and fauna.
A report by news agency PTI said that Justice C Hari Shankar, before whom the matter came up for hearing, transferred the suit to another bench for hearing on 2 June.
Juhi, according to the report, said that the implementation of 5G network in the country would spare no one including person, animal, bird, insect and plant on Earth.
Juhi’s lawsuit against the setting up of 5G network comes amidst social media being flooded with conspiracy theories on the internet technology’s connection with the spread of the latest wave of the pandemic in India.

The former co-star of Shah Rukh Khan said that 5G plans threatened to provoke serious, irreversible effects on humans and permanent damage to all of the Earth’s ecosystems.
The suit was filed through lawyer Deepak Khosla, who urged the court to direct the authorities to assure the public at large, that 5G technology was safe to humankind, man, woman, adult, child, infant, animals and every type of living organism, flora and fauna.
“We are not against the implementation of technological advancements. On the contrary, we enjoy using the latest products that the world of technology has to offer, including in the field of wireless communications. However, whilst using the latter kind of devices, we are in a constant dilemma, because after doing our own research and studies regarding the RF radiation from wirefree gadgets and network cell towers, we have sufficient reason to believe that the radiation is extremely harmful and injurious to the health and safety of the people,” Indian Express quoted a statement from Juhi.
