State appoints CE to VMC
Staff Reporter
VIJAYAWADA: The State government on Friday appointed N. Durga Prasad as Chief Engineer of the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) in the existing vacancy. He was asked to report in the promotion post within 15 days from the date of receipt of the order. Mr. Durga Prasad is being posted here for the second time. He worked here during 2007-2008 for just 20 days.
The post of CE fell vacant after the last Chief Engineer T. Anjaneyulu was surrendered to his parent department in November last.
The Corporation had no full time chief engineer for the last couple of years. All the officers who have been posted left the job for one reason or the other. In less than a week of assuming charge as Chief Engineer, K. Shiv Ram left the city without informing his higher-ups in 2008.
Mr. Shiv Ram worked here just for a couple of days. He was appointed incharge CE after a gap of nearly six months in March 2008. Siva Ram’s predecessor Mr. Durga Prasad was posted here when B. Jayarami Reddy, who worked for about six months here, was transferred to Visakhapatnam.
