Pune: A group of 60 frontline staff who are performing a major responsibility in the fight against Covid in the district are feeling ignored.
These are workers at the Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facilities. There are two biomedical garbage processing plants in the district, one for the city located at Sangawadi and another for Pimpri-Chinchwad at Yashwantrao Chavan Municipal Hospital, which have the responsibility of collecting biomedical waste from 5,500 healthcare facilities and then incinerating or recycling it.

Pune, which has been among the most-affected cities due to the Covid-19 pandemic in the country, also has the rate of spread of the virus under its control to a large extent. Now, it has been reported that for the first time since the virus outbreak began last year, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has fewer number of active cases than the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC).
