Operations of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) have been hit hard, as more than a third of its employees—30,000 of the total 92,000 employees—have been deployed to conduct the Maratha backward class survey between January 23 and 31 in Mumbai. Apart from all the Class-B and C clerical staff, the civic body has also appointed assistant engineers and assistant officers as supervisors due to a shortage of clerical staff for the survey.
The Maharashtra State Backward Class Commission is carrying out the survey between January 23 and 31 to assess the social, educational and economic status of the Maratha community and other backward classes in the state. In Mumbai, the BMC is responsible for the survey. “There are 92,000 employees in the BMC, of which 30,000 are on survey duty… it is just a nine-day issue,” said Sudhakar Shinde, additional commissioner, BMC.
