According to reports the Biomedical were found scattered at Gandhi Park road, Krishna Rao (adv) Junction, Shadipur and Nayagaon Durga Mandir Road. “The biomedical waste must have fallen from PBMC’s Garbage carrying trucks. Initially these were inside plastic bags on which marking of biomedical waste is drawn but as vehicles on road starting running over it all biomedical waste got scattered on road. There is a threat of infection from these waste materials, we fear. The DHS must find out how these dangerous bio-medical waste, including used syringes, cottons, bandages etc fell on city road.
