Mizoram: First bio-medical waste treatment plant

Mizoram Minister for Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation (UD&PA) K. Sapdanga inaugurated the Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Plant at Tuirial, marking it as the first such facility in Mizoram. According to sources, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India, financed Rs 200 million for the project. This initiative, part of Aizawl Smart City Limited (ASCL), was developed in collaboration with the Mizoram Pollution Control Board and constructed under the Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules 2016 at the Aizawl Municipal Corporation Solid Waste Management Centre.

Medical waste from hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities in the district will be collected by a specialized waste truck, and the plant will handle the waste disposal. ASCL is scheduled to conduct a trial run in the AMC area for two months, while the Health & Family Welfare Department will oversee a trial run in Saitual district for the same duration.

The hospital waste management system includes four types of waste management processes: hazardous and infectious waste incineration plants, sterilization plants, waste treatment plants, and water and chemical air treatment plants. The newly inaugurated treatment plant features a cleaning facility, a specialized garbage collection system, and a 250KVA generator to ensure operation during power outages.
