The PCMC has already appointed another contractor for the remaining two areas - zone B, which covers Pimprigaon, Pimpri Camp, Chinchwad and Chinchwadgaon, and zone C, which includes Kasarwadi, Bhosari and adjoining areas.

There had been complaints that a private agency appointed for door-to-door garbage collection in zones A and D was not lifting garbage from bins and roadsides. As a result, the civic administration has decided to appoint a contractor only to lift garbage lying along roadsides, in gutters and in garbage bins.

Shiv Sena corporator Sulabha Ubale from Nigdi said, "The civic health department must take steps to clear the garbage lying in bins and along roadsides in zones A and D, as it makes the wards unclean. Moreover, there must be a single agency for door-to-door collection and garbage collection from roadsides, bins and gutters for better coordination."

The civic administration has tabled a proposal before the standing committee to appoint the private contractor for zones A and D. The proposal will come up for discussion at the committee's meeting on Tuesday.

PCMC health executive officer Rajaram Chavan said, "Garbage collection from roadsides, gutters and bins is currently being carried out by the health department in zones A and D. Trucks will be deployed in some areas."
