Three held for 51-666-888 recycling 23492027, 23302351 medical waste

TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: The west Delhi police raided two premises in Nangloi and arrested three persons for recycling dispos- able hospital waste. They also recovered more than 200 quintals of waste from the premises. DCP (west) Deependra Pathak said the team had received information regarding the premises where the illegal recycling was going on. When the police reached there, it found the waste was already segregated. The waste includes dispos- al syringes, blood tubes, surgical equipment and plastic bags to store glucose, said an officer. The police fear that these wastes were being re- sold into the market. ‘‘The accused revealed they used to sell the surgical equipment after cleaning them. But we have to identify the place where they cleaned the waste and those chemists or doctors who bought it,” a senior police officer said. He added the police are looking for one more accused.
