The state government formed a three-member committee to look into the issue of transfer of services from Cidco to the PCMC. The order has helped resolve the deadlock over the garbage collection. Cidco, which had given the final deadline of March 15 for the PCMC to take up the responsibility, had stopped collecting garbage from Wednesday. Piled-up garbage and bins spilling over were a common sight in several areas of PCMC in the past two days. The committee will comprise Cidco joint managing director and municipal commissioners of Navi Mumbai and Panvel city.
