Thane Commissioner and Election Officer Saurabh Rao has stated that action has been initiated to file criminal charges against employees appointed for election work for the Thane Municipal Corporation general elections who did not report for duty even after being served show-cause notices.
The election is an essential and constitutional process, and officers and employees appointed for it are obligated to fulfill their responsibilities. However, it has come to notice that some employees have violated government orders by not reporting for duty despite repeated instructions and being served show-cause notices.
In this case, criminal action is being taken against the concerned employees under the Representation of the People Act and relevant laws, and the Commissioner has also warned that strict steps will be taken against those who fail in election duty in the future.
The upcoming elections of the Thane Municipal Corporation are being held on January 15, 2026, and the administration is committed to conducting the election process in a transparent, smooth, and fearless environment. Therefore, appointed employees should report for election duty on time without any excuse, otherwise, they will have to face strict legal action, clarified Commissioner and Election Officer Saurabh Rao.
