Vallabh Bhawan Registers as Bulk Waste Generator; BMC Fines Hospital
Vallabh Bhawan Registers as Bulk Waste Generator Following BMC’s Appeal; Fines Imposed On Hospital, Dental Clinic · freepressjournal.in

In the city of Bhopal, a big government building called Vallabh Bhawan decided to sign up as a 'bulk waste generator'.

That means it officially promised to handle its garbage the right way.

This happened because the city office called the Bhopal Municipal Corporation, or BMC, asked large institutions to follow new garbage rules.

The rules are called the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026.

They say big places like hospitals must separate different kinds of trash.

The BMC also found a hospital mixing dangerous medical waste with regular wet and kitchen waste.

So it fined that hospital 50,000 rupees.

A dental clinic was fined 20,000 rupees for not following the rules.

The BMC wants everyone who makes lots of garbage to register and keep the city clean and safe from harmful waste.
