Remove y-axis gridlines in highcharts

Question

I have this chart http://jsfiddle.net/0x48hdff/3/ and i need to remove the x-axis gridlines.

I have tried

 gridLineWidth: 0,
 minorGridLineWidth: 0,

and setting transparency to zero and i cant seem to hide anything.

How can i hide the -x axis gridlines?.

Update

While the i was able to remove the grid line on the above named chart,i have not yet been able to remove the lines on this

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
    $('#container').highcharts({
        chart: {
            type: 'column'
        },
        title: {
            text: 'Efficiency Optimization by Android Branch'
        },

I managed to remove the grid lines this way

{ // Secondary yAxis
            gridLineWidth: 0,
            minorGridLineWidth: 0,
            title: {
                text: 'Companies',
                style: {
                    color: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[0]
                }
            },
            labels: {
                format: '{value} No',
                style: {
                    color: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[0]
                }
            },
            opposite: true
        }
