Municipal Commissioner Dr Abhijeet Chaudhari has again cracked a whip against erring employees of Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) as on Tuesday, he suspended two of them. The two are identified as Nilesh Sambare and Rupesh Thute. While Sambare was working as Junior Engineer with Garden Department of NMC under Public Works Department (PWD) at Dhantoli Zone, Thute is Assistant Tax Surveyor at Gandhibagh Zone.

 

The two were marked out for dereliction of duty and hence suspended from the service by Municipal Commissioner under Rule 179 of Maharashtra Civic Service Rules (Discipline and Appeals). During the suspension period, Sambare has been attached to office of Chief Engineer, PWD, NMC, at Civil Lines and Commissioner said the entry be made in service book as to suspension. Municipal Commissioner has been strict about observance of discipline and following rules and more particular about completing the allotted work. As the two employee were found to be not complying with office orders, the matter was taken-up in all seriousness and hence their suspension was ordered.

 

There has been tremendous pressure on civic body to deliver on the services to citizens and all works are being regularly reviewed on periodic basis. Earlier, also soon after taking over reins of NMC, Municipal Commissioner had suspended two engineers at Laxmi Nagar Zone following lapses in supervision of a development work in constituency of Deputy Chief Minister in city. The fresh lot of suspension is a signal to NMC workforce to pull-up their socks and deliver or face the music.
