Nagpur: When Devendra Fadnavis was the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, he had approved the filling up of 17,000 posts in Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC). But he had also directed the recruiting of posts according to the income category. The civic body has been struggling to increase the revenue of the Municipal Corporation so that the vacant posts could be filled up. Today four years have passed and Fadnavis is now the Deputy Chief Minister of the state.
According to a report in a local Hindi daily, Fadnavis has recently announced recruitment of 75,000 posts across the state, but the file of recruitment of 17,000 posts in NMC is lying in the dust. If the contours of all these posts are done, then there will be a burden of Rs 50 crore on the NMC every month. Due to the condition of recruitment according to income by the then alliance Government, it is becoming difficult for the recruitment of new posts. Due to very few employees, the work of city development and maintenance is getting affected, the report added.
