Introduction

Sanitation situation in markets/commercial areas/public places

The Ongole vegetable markets which have shops selling vegetables is relatively well maintained but there is scope for improvement.

The agricultural market near the bus stand does not have adequate number of toilet seats and also dust bins.

The RTC main bus stand is relatively well maintained sanitation facilities such as cleaning and toilets through there is scope for improvement. The bus stand has lot of dust and hence needs dust cleaners.

There are two fish markets in the town. The fish market near the bus stop is somewhat in good condition though fish waste is not managed properly. In contrast, the second fish market known as Ongole fish market is in poor condition without proper fish stalls, toilets and water facility.

The fish waste is also not disposed properly.

Sanitation facilities in slaughter houses

The town has slaughter houses and these have been visited for the field study. These are Ongole mutton market, Ongole sheep and Ongole pork or pig slaughter house.

The first market does not have compound wall or water facility. The second market is located in an open market areas without compound wall and water facility. The pig slaughter house takes place near the dumping yard in an open area.

In all the cases Ongole municipality is responsible for collection and disposal of slaughter house waste but no special arrangements are made. The waste is collected and dumped in an open area outside the city.

The slaughter houses are quite old and dated. There is an urgent need to modernize the slaughter houses.

All the slaughter waste generated including the solid and liquid waste should be scientifically collected, transported and disposed as per the rules and regulations.

The municipality should formulate appropriate rules and regulations towards the same.

Sanitation Of Water Bodies

in Ongole

As discussed earlier, the town has only two water bodies viz., canal near Ongole market and dumping yard and pond near Anjaiah road.Both the water bodies are not properly maintained and there is open defecation around these water bodies.

As there is inordinate delay in acquiring land for dumping yard, Ongole municipality faces a piquant problem in disposing of the solid waste. Municipal and Revenue officials need to work in tandem to acquire land expeditiously surmounting opposition from local residents for the dumping yard. Ongole town with a population of over two lakh generates 80 to 90 tonnes of garbage per day. But it lacks a dumping yard. Municipal officials had to run from pillar to post searching for vacant lands to dump the garbage within town limits. Unable to face the wrath of the people, they dump the garbage stealthily.

1. All the inflows into the water bodies should be let into only after appropriate treatment2. Mechanisms should be put in place to prevent connecting of toilets to the drainagechannels that flow into the water bodies3. The quality of water in the water bodies should be tested at regular intervals4. Steps should also be taken to clean the existing water so as to improve the water quality

Sanitation facilities in hospitals in ongole

However the overall sanitation situation in the hospital is not good and needs improvement though general cleanliness is taken care by the hospital management and solid waste management by municipality

The old government hospital has a provision for bio-medical waste management through a rims

In the urban health centres and Ayurvedic hospital the bio medical waste management is done by the operator and the overall sanitation situation is relatively better.

Since a private operator is already collecting bio-medical waste from the government Medical hospital, it may be enforced upon all other hospitals to do the same.

The municipal solid waste should be segregated by the hospitals to ensure that biomedical Waste is not mixed with the same.

The segregated municipal solid waste Should Be collected at the door step of hospitals

The municipal solid waste collector should periodically monitor and ensure that the Municipal solid waste is not mixed with the bio-medical waste.
