Order of the National Green Tribunal in the matter of Varun Sheokand Vs Central Pollution Control Board & Others dated 15/06/2021.
Grievance in the application was against unscientific disposal of biomedical waste in Faridabad, Haryana in violation of Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016 (BMW Rules). It is stated that while 14 to 15 tons of bio-medical waste is generated daily and there are 7422 bedded hospitals, there is only one Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility. This is resulting in unscientific disposal of the waste leading to creating hazards for public health.
