PCMC chief transfers 57 junior engineers

Continuing with big internal reshuffles, Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal
Commissioner Shrikar Pardeshi on Monday ordered transfers of 57 junior
engineers from the civil department of the civic body, who were holding
the same posts for a considerable period of time.

With this, the tally of internal transfers within
Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) effected by Pardeshi has
reached 300.

Significantly, this decision has come in the wake of ongoing
speculation about his own transfer, allegedly sought by local NCP
leaders over PCMC’s drive against illegal constructions.

Pardeshi, who had prepared a list of staff sticking to one
department for more than three years, soon after taking over the reins
of PCMC, had transferred about 34 executive and deputy engineers.

He had transferred around 250 employees since he took charge. To
start with, he transferred 74 employees, mostly head clerks. A few
months later, he transferred 142 more. In another major reshuffle a few
days ago, he ordered the transfer of six senior officials.
