Absence Of Officers Delaying Work In UMC
"It has been more than 15 days since the assembly election results came out, even after that work is not being done in UMC. Citizens are coming with their work, employees are wandering with files but they are not able to find the officers."
Expressing his annoyance, Ramchandra Korat, patron of Retired Employees' Union, Safai Kamgar Sangh and Autonomous Employees' Union, said that all the work has come to a standstill due to officers not coming to the UMC for the last several days. Due to non-availability of officers in the health department, accounts department, establishment department and other departments of the UMC, employee-related work is not being done, due to which they are facing problems.
In the recent meeting of the Employees' Union, the commissioner had given instructions to the officers to complete the work immediately, but to date no work has been started. The commissioner had issued orders for payment of four per cent DA arrear amount to the retired employees but the arrear amount was also not paid, Korat complained.
