Free Press Journal: Mumbai: Friday, November 27, 2015.
It has come
to light that around 14,000 posts are lying vacant in the BMC of which 9,500
fall in the Grade D category including peons, office boys and caretakers, while
over 4,500 posts are vacant due to delayed inter-departmental promotions in the
BMC.
Deepak
Shelar, a candidate who has cleared the requisite exams but has not been
inducted into service for many months now, has been shuttling from one official
to another. He has requested municipal commissioner Ajoy Mehta to intervene. An
RTI filed by Shelar has revealed that over 7,221 grade ‘D’ posts belonging to
the reserved category, which includes SC, ST and OBC categories and 2,462 posts
from the open category are lying vacant. Similarly, over 1,837 posts from the
reserved category of class IV (workers) and over 2,735 posts from the open
category of class IV employees are vacant as due promotions have been stalled.
Also, 700
posts are vacant in the BMC’s security department. Labour union Hindustan
Mazdoor Sangh has written to Mehta drawing his attention to the issue.
