77 BMC employees suspended over corruption in five years
In the last five years, as many as 77 BMC employees, including officers, have been suspended after being arrested in corruption cases. In 2025 alone, 20 BMC employees have been suspended in corruption cases.
"The action has been taken in a total of 68 cases. The administration is firm on keeping the BMC corruption-free and will continue to take stringent action against its staff, including officers, if any cases of malpractice and misuse of official powers come to the surface," civic sources said.
Cooperation with Anti-Corruption Bureau
Senior officials said that the civic administration maintains transparency in all its dealings, acts in accordance with the rules and takes a firm stand against corruption, adding that the municipal corporation extends all necessary cooperation to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of the Government of Maharashtra for various actions taken under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
If the courts find an employee guilty in a case registered against him by the ACB, the civic administration immediately takes strict action, such as dismissal or removal from service. These employees not only lose their jobs but also lose benefits such as pension and gratuity. These individuals are also barred from applying for jobs in any government or semi-government organisations in the future.
