RANCHI: The Jharkhand High Court has expressed deep displeasure over the lack of proper arrangements for the disposal of biomedical waste at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), the state’s largest medical college and hospital in Ranchi.
Hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by the Jharkhand Human Rights Confederation, a Division Bench comprising Chief Justice M.S. Sonak and Justice Rajesh Shankar on Monday expressed dissatisfaction with the response submitted by RIMS authorities.
The Bench observed that RIMS had failed to comply with earlier directions issued by the court regarding the scientific and lawful disposal of biomedical waste, despite repeated reminders.
