NMC issues promotion orders to 39 engineers after 5-month delay
Nagpur: Facing flak for inaction, municipal commissioner and administrator Abhijeet Chaudhari on Wednesday finally issued long-pending promotion orders for 32 junior engineers and seven deputy engineers. They have now been elevated to the ranks of deputy and executive engineers, respectively. Along with the promotions, Chaudhari also approved a reshuffle of five executive engineers, three deputy engineers, and 12 junior engineers. For the first time, posts of executive engineers were created in two departments — education and sports and cultural. Until now, the sports department was handled by Sports Officer Piyush Ambulkar, while buildings of NMC-run schools were monitored by executive engineers from respective zonal offices. The creation of dedicated posts is expected to streamline operations and bring focused oversight to these sectors. The promotions come nearly five months after the state govt's resolution dated December 16, 2024, which endorsed Chaudhari's proposal to promote engineers under the unified cadre structure of 17,981 posts approved by the urban development department. Despite completing all formalities, including scrutiny and shortlisting of eligible candidates in September, the civic body had delayed signing the actual orders.
