It's a dirty picture outside 2 hospitals

NEW DELHI: The dhalao outside Saket City Hospital, which is located at the crossing on Press Enclave Road, has become a major cause of concern for both the hospital and the area's residents. Overflowing waste bins kept outside the hospital not only create insanitary conditions but also result in a traffic bottleneck. But the South Delhi Municipal Corporation, which has started a special drive to keep Delhi clean, isn't bothered.

There are three dhalaos on Press Enclave Road, and two are located near hospitals--Max Healthcare and Saket City Hospital. Visitors to Saket City Hospital often miss its main entry as it is located right after the crossing, and due to the waste on the main road, vehicles have to drive on the right side of the carriageway .

But the chief worry for the hospital authorities is the insanitary conditions."It is not only an eyesore but also reflects poorly on India as we get a lot of inter national patients. They assume that if this is the condition outside the hospital, our services will be shabby too. With waste lying on the main road, patients find it difficult to walk," said Dr Garima Singh, CEO, Saket City Hospital.

Dhalaos near Max Healthcare and Press Enclave Colony are also in a pathetic condition. Similarly, the main entrance to Khirki Extension, opposite Select Citywalk Mall, has turned into a dumping site.

Max Hospital in a statement said, "The garbage bin near Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket is indeed an obstruction and inconveniences pedestrians. Also, the overflowing garbage is a potential source of infection".

South Corporation says the dhalaos are cleaned reg ularly but residents differ."How can so much waste collect if they are cleaned regularly?'' said PK Sharma, who lives in Khirki Extension.

Area councillor Anita Choudhary claims she has written to officials about relocating the dhalaos on this stretch, but there has been no response. Choudhary claims the dhalao outside Saket City Hospital is illegal."I have asked corporation officials to relocate the dhalao outside Press Enclave Colony . Waste bins installed outside Saket City Hospital have to be removed,'' said the Congress councillor.

BJP-led South Corporation claims there is no proposal to shift the dhalaos."We have not received any proposal from the councillor. If we get a proposal, we will quickly relocate them as there should be no dhalao near hospitals. I'll direct officials to clean the dhalaos immediately ,'' said Shailender Singh Monty , BJP councillor and chairman of South zone's ward committee.
