The National Green Tribunal has taken action against a municipal corporation for failing to identify the source of biomedical waste dumping. The waste was found behind a regional transport office. As a result, the tribunal has directed that the process of handling biomedical waste must be completed within 48 hours.
The tribunal has also specified requirements for waste transport vehicles and monitoring capabilities. An investigation was conducted and the waste was cleared from the site and handed over to a treatment facility. However, the specific hospital or medical institution responsible for the dumping has not been identified.
Further details about the case and the tribunal's directives are available from the source.
