Though the staff had started working from Sunday after a long meeting
with the municipal corporation officials, but the execution took place
in full swing from Monday morning.

A2Z officials and municipal corporation officials held a meeting on Sunday and arrived at a settlement.

The company had stopped lifting garbage since March 1 and the municipal
corporation had taken the responsibility of disposing of the garbage in
the city. But despite best efforts, municipal corporation could not
lift more than 700 tonnes of garbage per day while the city produces
more than 1,200 tonnes of garbage per day.

Within a fortnight,
the city was stinking with heaps of garbage strewn around and residents
had started burning it on roads. According to sources, officials of
municipal corporation had convened a meeting late on Saturday evening
and it was decided to hand over the task to A2Z. During the Sunday
meeting, A2Z officials once again raised the issue of realization of
user charges and nagar nigam officials said that now the user charge
would be collected in presence of inspectors.

According to
earlier agreement, the company was to be paid Rs 456 per ton for lifting
of garbage and a sum of Rs. 9 crore was pending against municipal
corporation. On the other hand, nagar nigam officials had alleged that
the company was lifting debris and charging instead for garbage.

The municipal commissioner
commented that very soon city would be free of garbage as A2Z officials
had assured that they would clear the city of garbage before the
festival and for this they would press more manpower and mechanical
infrastructure.
