Navi Mumbai: The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) moved swiftly to address long-pending grievances of its Scheduled Tribe (ST) employees and officers just ahead of a Scheduled Tribe Welfare Committee meeting held on September 10 at the civic headquarters.
Union Concerns Over Injustice
The meeting, which included representatives of various labor unions including the Maharashtra Employees Union, was expected to highlight cases of alleged injustice faced by ST employees.
Sources said the administration acted in advance and even approved the promotion of Assistant Accounts Officer Dinesh Dhondu Gawari before the discussions took place.
Labor Leaders’ Pursuit of Promotions
Union leaders had been pursuing these issues with the civic body for some time. Labor leader Ravindra Sawant had consistently followed up on cases of promotions being withheld. However, union representatives were not given time to present their case before the committee.

Memorandum Submitted by Union
Despite this, Maharashtra Employees Union secretary Mangesh Gaikwad submitted a memorandum to the committee, alleging that ST and other backward category employees are often denied promotions through arbitrary criteria. He said while employees in other municipal corporations receive fair treatment, NMMC’s approach has deprived many of their rightful opportunities.
