Pune 19th Sept 2023: The Government of Maharashtra has constituted a committee to review the decision to terminate the 603 employees of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) from service following allegations of bogus recruitment. The employees were working with gram panchayats before they were merged with the municipal corporation in 2021.
A detailed report submitted by then Zila Parishad CEO had revealed that the gram panchayats had recruited additional staff after they were made aware that the villages will be merged with the municipal corporation.
