State pollution control board blasts six hospitals
Though pollution control boards, especially in the states, are regarded as toothless tigers, the lately awoken one in Karnataka has at least decided to snarl, ordering six top hospitals in the state to shut down, after relocating patients at their own cost, within 15 days! Their offence: repeated refusal to implement basic sewage treatment guidelines mandatory under the environment protection laws, and arrogantly ignoring more than one show cause notice of the KPCB.
In the absence of sewage treatment plants, biologically contaminated sewage is polluting waterbodies around the area and becoming a health hazard for residents of the city.
On January 20, the Lok Adalat ordered the KPCB to ensure ‘stringent action’ against all six hospitals. On February 12, the board issued the closure notice. It has been four years since the first complaint had reached the High Court, and since then the hospitals have ignored all notices and strictures. Kempegowda Hospital, ESI Hospital, Chinmaya Mission Hospital, Saint Martha’s Hospital, HAL Hospital, and Ambedkar Medical College & Hospital are the ones warned by the PCB. Two of these are also state medical colleges.
The board has told Bangalore Electricity Supply Company and Bangalore Water Board to cut off the facilities to these hospitals right away. “Even though they were given sufficient time to set up the plants, they have not taken the instruction seriously. As a result, untreated bio-contaminated sewage is being let out into waterbodies and is causing health hazards. We have been ordered by the Lok Adalat to take stern action,” a senior PCB official told TSI. However, the hospitals managements were unrepentant: “We have not received any communication regarding this so far,” Commander (Retd) IA D’Cunha, Chief Administrator, Saint Martha’s hospital told TSI.
In the wake of this strong message conveyed by the board, even the other government hospitals got unnerved and hastily appealed for another three months time to set up sewage treatment plants. If they fail to keep their word, they too will meet with the same fate. May be a freshly woken tiger will finally save the city rather than devour it!
