A private hospital and two firms based in Noida's Sector 62 were Thursday fined Rs 50 lakh for flouting solid waste management norms, Noida Authority officials said.
They were fined during an inspection by the Public Health Department, which found the three bulk waste producing units in violation of the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, an official said.
"Fortis Hospital was penalised Rs 25 lakh, Genpact India Rs 15 lakh and Orient Craft Rs 10 lakh after plastic was found in bulk quantity at their sites. Their STPs (sewage treatment plants) were also found closed at the time of inspection," the official said.
