Balaji Hospital Fined ₹50,000 for Mixing Biomedical Waste in Bhopal

A hospital is a place where sick people go to get better.

When a hospital treats people, it creates special trash called medical waste.

Medical waste can be dangerous, so there are strict rules about how to throw it away.

In a city called Bhopal, there is a hospital named Balaji Hospital.

The city workers found medical trash mixed in with the regular kitchen garbage.

That is against the rules, because medical trash needs to be burned in a special place.

The city told the hospital it must pay a fine of 50,000 rupees.

City workers also taught the hospital staff the right way to sort and throw away waste.

If the hospital does it again, it will have to close.

Now the hospital must be much more careful.
