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.
