The Colombo Municipal Council settled Rs.100 million to Sri Lanka Land Reclamation and Development Corporation for the disposal of garbage collected within the municipal limits, a statement from the Megapolis and Western Development Ministry said today.

Earlier, the Corporation stopped accepting garbage from the municipal council over the non-payment of Rs.207 million due for it.

However, the CMC made a cheque payment of Rs. 100 million today morning. Accordingly, the Corporation started collecting solid waste from Colombo municipal limits. (Kelum Bandara)
