Thane Municipal Corporation Shuffles 116 Staff To Strengthen Anti-Encroachment Drives

Thane, July 1: In an effort to enhance the efficacy, transparency and consistency of anti-encroachment operations, Thane Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao has issued an order transferring 116 employees across various ward-level departments.

Additionally, concerns were raised regarding employees remaining stationed in the same ward committees for extended periods, prompting the administration to conduct a comprehensive review of staffing assignments.

Scope Of Transfers

The transfer orders affect 116 personnel working in the encroachment control and removal departments across nine ward committees. The affected positions include:

. Senior clerks

. Clerks

. Peons

. Labourers

. Sanitation workers

Strict Compliance Directive

Commissioner Rao has emphasised the urgency of these reassignments. The municipal administration has issued the following directives:

Immediate relief: Related employees are instructed to be relieved from their current posts immediately.

Prompt reporting: Personnel must report to their newly assigned locations without delay.

Also Watch:

Disciplinary consequences: The Commissioner has explicitly warned that failure to comply with the transfer orders or failure to report to the new workplace will result in disciplinary action against the employee.
