Overview

Private hospitals in the state have taken their fight against the new bio-medical waste fee system to the Telangana High Court. The petitioners alleged that the system unfairly penalises bedded facilities while non-bedded institutions pay strictly in proportion to the waste they generate.

While hearing the matter, a division bench comprising Justices Abhinand Kumar Shavili and Vakiti Ramakrishna Reddy directed the state and central governments, along with the Telangana Pollution Control Board (TGPCB) and the Central Pollution Control Board, to respond to the plea filed by private hospitals and doctors’ bodies regarding bio-medical waste charges.
