The surge in the number of active COVID-19 cases in the city has also led to an increase in the quantum of sanitary and biomedical waste that is generated. According to rough estimates, from an average 40 to 45 tonnes per day, over the past few weeks, it had increased by another 25 tonnes a day. BBMP’s Special Commissioner (Solid Waste Management) D. Randeep told The Hindu that the civic body had floated short-term tender to handle the biomedical waste now being generated, especially from the various COVID-19 Care Centres (CCCs) and electric crematoria. The civic body will be opening the tenders next week.More Related News
