Deputy Commissioner Varinder Kumar Sharma on Friday directed the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) to take strict action against hospitals operating without effluent treatment plants (ETPs) in the district.
Presiding over a meeting of the District Environment Committee, the Deputy Commissioner said the last deadline for installing the ETPs was March 31 and those hospitals which had not set up the facility would face action as per the norms. He asked the board to conduct physical inspection of the institutions and ensure proper compliance with the bio-medical waste management rules. —TNS
