Bhilai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the Hitek Private Hospital, functioning at Junwani Road Bhilai for dumping bio-waste in residential locality while posing grave health threats for nearby habitants. After noticing the heap of bio-waste materials including surgical gloves, masks, syringe, dressing bandage etc dumped besides the Junwani Road near Model Town area, the BMC staffers started segregating the bio-waste materials very carefully and found the receipt of Hitek Hospital.
 
While giving guidance on proper disposal of bio-waste, the BMC officials levied penalty on hospital management and warned them to not repeat such malpractices in future. “Stern and legal proceedings will be initiated against the hospital management, if they failed to dispose-off bio waste properly,” said PR officer of BMC authority P C Sarva.
