Imphal, October 30 2013:
There is deep suspicion that hazardous biomedical wastes are also dumped at Imphal Municipal area solid wastes disposal site at Krypsa Ground, Lamphelpat.
Officials of MAHUD said it is highly likely that biomedical wastes are also disposed at IMC's solid disposal site.
In case private and Government hospitals in Imphal had disposed biomedical wastes at the site, the same could pose serious health hazard to the people, the officials said.
The Sangai Express went to conduct an independent assessment over the presence of biomedical wastes at solid wastes disposal site of the Imphal Municipal area.

Since the huge pile up of solid wastes were buried using dozers, nothing about the presence of biomedical wastes could be ascertained.
IMC officials who were present at the dumping site confided that around two/three truck loads of waste materials from hospitals are dumped at the site every week.
60 to 70 truck loads of waste materials are dumped daily at the disposal site, the IMC officials said.
It may be mentioned that the State Govt had sent proposal to the Centre for setting up of a treatment plant of waste materials from sceptic tanks and setting up a project within solid waste treatment plant complex at Lamdeng under Asian Development Bank.
