Municipal Commissioner transferred
Commissioner of Ramanathapuram Municipality P.M.N.Mujbeer Rahuman has been transferred to Tenkasi Municipality.
The transfer comes close on the heels of a section of AIADMK councillors demanding his transfer over the controversy surrounding the awarding of Rs.2.39-crore contract to undertake road works under the Tamil Nadu Urban Road Infrastructure Project (TURIP).
After the AIADMK and DMK councillors boycotted the council meeting on Tuesday and demanded a resolution against him, Mr Rahuman went on leave and sought transfer to either Tenkasi or Aruppukottai, official sources said.
The Commissioner of Municipal Administration is understood to have conceded to the official’s request and transferred him to Tenkasi. Mr Rahuman is likely to hand over the charge to Municipality Engineer A.Mathivanan on Saturday and join duty at Tenkasi on Monday.
