Pune, Oct 18: Municipal commissioner has transferred a senior officer from the Hadapsar regional ward office and suspended three other employees for negligence and poor performance.
MC has taken stern action against civic officials and staff following surprise inspections across the city’s eastern suburbs as he conducted an early morning inspection of Shewalwadi and Manjari areas to review cleanliness, drainage systems, potholes, encroachments, and sewage discharge in nullahs.
He expressed strong displeasure over garbage accumulation, poor road conditions, and inadequate sanitation, noting that the civic machinery had failed to maintain basic standards.
Taking serious note of the lapses, Ram ordered the transfer of Assistant Commissioner replacing him immediately with Executive Engineer. He also directed the suspension of three employees a branch Engineer, a Health Inspector, and a mukadam for dereliction of duty.
Just two days earlier, the Commissioner had carried out a surprise inspection in Wagholi under the Nagar Road regional office, where he found several officials failing to monitor fieldwork and address drainage and encroachment issues.
As a result, he ordered the transfer of Assistant Commissioner Sheetal Wakde, Deputy Engineer (Drainage) Vinayak Shinde, and officer Ganesh Puram for inaction.
MC also pulled up officials for the unclean condition of medians along the Pune–Solapur highway, directing the departments concerned to carry out immediate cleaning and maintenance work.
