Standard operating procedures (SOPs) laid down on segregation and disposal
The rising number of COVID-19 patients in Maharashtra has presented another challenge to civic bodies in major cities on dealing with disposal of biomedical waste, which has also increased substantially.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has seen a spike in the number of cases with around 6,84,048 positive patients since 2020. The financial capital produces around 22 to 23 MT biomedical waste every day.
