Srinagar: The Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) has taken a proactive step towards maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards in Srinagar by launching a special sanitation drive centered on Government hospitals viz. LD Hospital, Bone & Joint Hospital, SKIMS Medical College Bemina, JLNM Hospital Rainawari, SMHS Hospital and also organised training on bio-medical waste management training program for staff as part of the Swachhata Pakhwada Campaign.
