Al-Shifa Polyclinic fined ₹15,000 for dumping medical waste in a public place in Bengaluru
Fine or penalty
Bengaluru South City Corporation fined Al-Shifa Polyclinic, located on Mangammanapalya Main Road, ₹15,000 for allegedly dumping medical and mixed waste in a public place near Srinivagilu and Mangammanapalya Main Road. The corporation said junior health inspectors from the BTM Layout division found medicine packages, medical waste and mixed garbage during an inspection, and that prescription slips and documents at the spot helped officials identify the waste as belonging to the clinic. It said the clinic was fined for violating the Solid Waste Management Rules and for failing to comply with the norms for bulk waste generators; officials also sensitised the clinic's doctors and staff about proper waste disposal and instructed them to hand over medical and solid waste to authorised agencies for scientific disposal.
