The health department of the Ambernath Municipal Council had found that used equipment and accessories such as injection vials, syringes, and expired medicines were found dumped in the open near the doctor's hospital, he said.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the pollution control board in Uttar Pradesh had slapped a collective fine of over Rs 63 lakh on four private hospitals for ignoring bio-medical waste disposal norms. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) had ordered the pollution control board to serve notice to Yashoda hospital, Santosh Medical College, Atlanta, and Lee Crest hospitals and sought their replies.
The decision had been taken by the joint committee administration and NGT-constituted Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) entrusted to implement environmental laws and rules in the state. A copy of the decision had also been submitted before the tribunal, the regional manager of UPPCB Utsav Sharma told PTI. One of the four hospitals was flushing the waste in the sewer line. The condition of sewage and effluent treatment plants was also observed unsatisfactory. After the decision of NGT, further action would be initiated against four hospitals.
