The civic engineers union has decided to stand against the proposed appointment of 17 assistant municipal commissioners by the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC). The union has demanded that 50 per cent of the posts be filled by the engineer cadre of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
Yashwant Dhuri, general secretary of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Engineers Union, said, “We had already spoken to Municipal Commissioner I S Chahal regarding the appointment of civic engineers as assistant municipal commissioners, but we have now learnt that 17 of these posts will be filled by MPSC candidates.” According to Dhuri, around 80 per cent of the work in ward offices is related to the engineering department. “BMC should fill at least 50 per cent of AMC vacancies with civic engineers as they are familiar with wards and their issues,” he said.
