Promotions of Nashik Municipal Corporation staffers to finally get promotions
NASHIK: The long-pending promotions of officials and workers of the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC)
that were declared in the last three months will be carried out on
Friday. The mayor will officially hand over the promotion letters to
employees.
The employees have been promoted after 1999
albeit after a lot of obstacles that resulted in delays and postponement
of the process. The promotion process was postponed twice before it
finally began on November 19.
Over 650 officials and workers
were promoted since then over a period of around three months. Screens
were displayed at the entrance of the NMC office during the declaration
of the promotions by the promotion committee to ensure transparency.
On the reasons for the delay of the promotion, an official said that the administration had not received the resolution
passed by the general body. He said, “Now that we have received the
copy, the orders will be issued on Friday. The formality will be done by
the mayor,” he said.
NMC officials said that many vested
interests had tried to create pressures of sorts but the administration
went ahead with it as per the rules and have displayed screens at the
entrance of Rajiv Gandhi
Bhavan- the NMC headquarters- as a testimony to transparency. They said
that despite pressure, the municipal commissioner Sanjay Khandare was
firm on maintaining transparency in promotions.
Earlier, before the promotion process began, Shiv Sena
and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) had appealed for transparency and
100 percent promotions of employees based on seniority and educational
qualification. “Irrespective of their demands, we were firm about the
promotions,” said an official.
The official said there are 1098
vacant posts in the NMC now that the promotions are being handed over.
The vacant posts will be filled through direct recruitment.
