The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is gearing up for the upcoming assembly elections by mobilizing a whopping 5,500 employees to handle election-related duties. This move is in line with the district administration’s requirements and the enforcement of the model code of conduct.
Here are the key highlights of PMC’s election preparations:
Employee Deployment:
– Around 5,500 employees have been called to duty.
– Workers involved in essential services like water supply, healthcare, and sanitation are exempt from election duties to ensure the continuity of vital services.
Breakdown of Deployment:
– Municipal Departments: 3,130 employees.
– Primary Education Department: 2,007 staff members.
– Secondary Education Department: 183 teachers and staff.
Immediate Reporting:
All selected employees have been directed to report immediately to their designated election duties. The PMC has warned of disciplinary action for any employees who fail to comply with these orders.
Challenges Faced:
The PMC faced criticism on the first day of the Model Code of Conduct for its slow response in removing unauthorized political advertisements placed throughout the city. Despite the election announcement, various flex banners and boards remained visible at key intersections, raising concerns about administrative oversight.
Actions Taken:
In response to the criticism, the PMC swiftly took action to remove these political advertisements, reaffirming its commitment to enforcing the model code of conduct effectively.
