Chandigarh: Does not install effluent treatment factories (ETP) despite submitting written statements in 2012 have encouraged the UT government to request the Premier Medical Institute PGI to submit a detailed status report on work progress.
As indicated UT Dharam PAL adviser will soon review this issue, the Chandigarh pollution control committee (CPCC) has asked PGI to provide all details before the meeting.
ETP settings are very important for the treatment of liquid waste and is almost a mandatory condition for institutions that produce the waste.
Administration has taken this problem with PGI authorities regularly.
“Waste water testing reports have not been submitted quarterly and annual returns and manifests are also not delivered in accordance with the conditions set in November 2019.
In accordance with water (prevention and control of pollution) Act, 1974 and air (prevention and pollution) Act, 1981, PGI must take permission from the Country pollution control board or the pollution control committee to run the hospital and install the right treatment plant for the treatment of liquid waste produced from the hospital produced from the hospital.
But you run a hospital without obeying water conditions (prevention and control Pollution) ACT, 1974 and air (prevention and control of pollution) ACT, 1981 “, CPCC has written to Deputy Director (Administration), PGI.
“PGI is running a hospital of 1,948 beds without getting approval to operate from CPCC.
Previously, many letters have been issued to the Institute by CPCC for ETP installation and to get approval to operate for 1,948 beds, but until now it is not received.
On When the establishment of a new building for 334 beds in 2012, PGI has submitted a written statement where they mention they will install ETP in two and a half years, but it still hasn’t been done, “UT said.
The source said this problem was recently discussed during a high-level meeting after the letter was sent.
