The Maharashtra government on Friday announced the setting up of a committee to streamline installation of mobile phone towers in cities and towns and finalise guidelines on access and restoration charges, an official said.

As per the government's order, the principal secretary of Urban Development Department (2) will be the head of the committee, while members will comprise personnel from the revenue, rural development, and information technology departments.

"The committee will decide on how to charge taxes on mobile towers set up in urban and rural areas, as well as on how to regularise towers that have been erected without taking prior permission.
