PMC issues transfer orders of 132 junior engineers

Pune Municipal Corporation issued transfer orders of over 132 junior engineers yesterday. The orders came in after various concerns were raised of political pressure making financial allegations.  

The orders were issued by the general administration department and transferred those holding posts for more than 6 years. These engineers are transferred in various departments of PMC, 18 in the electrical dept, 109 in architectural dept and 5 in the mechanical dept.

In his letter he had mentioned that engineers have been at the same position for more than three years and as per the general body of PMC employees, they must be transferred after every three years.
