PTI/Aizawl | October 4, 2010



Following the decision of Mizoram's Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation (UD and PA) department, 60 village councils in the capital city here today took up garbage disposal responsibility on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis.

The state UD and PA department disbursed Rs 10.17 lakh, half of the proposed expenditure for October, to the village council presidents on Saturday by the secretary of the department P Lianhrima.

Lianhrima said rest of the fund for the month would be disbursed after VCs produced utilisation certificates.

With the introduction of garbage disposal on PPP mode, UD and PA would discontinue the service of trucks to collect garbages from all the localities in Aizawl.

The PPP mode experiment would be initially taken up for six months and would be made to cover all the city areas if found to be successful.
