Bihar No. 1 in urban reforms?

Notwithstanding the ever-increasing concern of people towards lack of civic amenities in most urban areas, Bihar stands numero uno in urban reforms in the country.

This was announced by Urban Development Minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey before a galaxy of scientists and environmentalists on Saturday.

Bihar happens to be the first state in the country to enact the Model Municipal Act for ensuring all-round development of municipal areas.

The state has received a sum of Rs 38 crore from the Central government for effecting solid waste management. A suitable plot of land is being acquired for disposal of solid waste, he said.

Speaking as the chief guest at an all India training programme on bio-medical waste management organised by the Patna University Centre for Environment and Nature Conservation at Science College auditorium here, Choubey said steps have also been initiated for setting up a plant to generate electricity from waste polythene bags. It has been found that 33 metric tonnes of polythene bags can generate 9.5 MW of power.

 He said registration of all nursing homes and hospitals with the Bihar State Pollution Control Board has been made mandatory and more than 700 nursing homes have already been registered. Besides, a heavy penalty has also been envisaged for the hospitals and private clinics which indulge in unscientific disposal of bio-medical waste.

Maharashtra Pollution Control Board's former member secretary D B Boralkar said it is the primary responsibility of urban development department to arrange for proper disposal of bio-medical waste being generated by hospitals and nursing homes.

The state pollution control board can sue the urban development department if the hospitals do not manage their bio-medical waste properly. He said all the environmental problems in the country are linked with population.

PU pro-VC S Ehteshamuddin presided while Centre director R C Sinha welcomed the guests and introduced the theme of the programme. PU zoology head M P Sinha proposed the vote of thanks.

Delegates from several states, including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Orissa and Bihar are participating in the training programme.
