Pune: PMC’s Deputy Commissioner Madhav Jagtap Penalised for Mismanagement; Two Salary Increments Withheld
Pune, 15th April 2025: In a significant administrative move, Deputy Commissioner Madhav Jagtap has been penalised for alleged mismanagement during his tenure in the encroachment and income tax departments. His two salary increments have been withheld following an inspection prompted by multiple complaints, including those related to illegal construction and irregular property assessments.
According to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) General Secretary Hemant Sambhus, Jagtap was found guilty in the case of illegal construction at Shivdatta Mini Market in Aundh, linked to Shivdatta Mitra Mandal. The inspection revealed misconduct during his time in the taxation and collection department, including the wrongful assessment of properties and encroachment violations.
The inspection was initiated after the MNS raised concerns and demanded accountability for Jagtap’s actions during his previous postings. Addressing the media, Sambhus presented a letter from Pune Municipal Commissioner Dr. Rajendra Bhosale, confirming the administrative action taken against Jagtap.
Commissioner Bhosale stated that action was taken strictly in accordance with the inspection report findings. Among the violations cited were the misuse of civic property rights covering 2,000 sq ft, and administrative lapses in handling encroachments and taxation duties.
