The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has finally gotten some much-needed relief with the appointment of a new Additional Commissioner after a long wait. Deputy Commissioner Mahesh Patil has been given the role on deputation after being promoted to Additional District Collector.
However, there seems to be some confusion surrounding Patil’s appointment, as the official order came from the Revenue Department rather than the Urban Development Department, which is usually responsible for municipal matters. This has raised questions about the exact nature of his role within the PMC.
The PMC has been struggling with vacancies in key positions, with two out of three Additional Commissioner posts remaining empty for almost a year. This has put immense pressure on the remaining officials, especially with the Municipal Commissioner also juggling additional responsibilities.
Local politicians have been pushing for these positions to be filled promptly, especially after a series of transfers following the Maharashtra Assembly elections. The appointment of Patil is expected to bring some much-needed relief and help streamline the functioning of the Municipal Corporation.
Overall, this appointment comes as a welcome development for PMC and is hoped to bring some stability to the administrative setup.
