The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced plans to implement an online transfer system for its engineers to enhance transparency and accountability in the internal transfer process. This decision comes in the wake of a scandal involving the transfer of 122 engineers, which faced allegations of corruption and was subsequently cancelled. Mayor Ritu Tawde, upon taking office, highlighted the need for an inquiry into these transfers, which had become increasingly random and influenced by political pressure. Sainath Rajadhyaksha, the working president of the Municipal Engineers Union, expressed support for the initiative, emphasizing the necessity of a streamlined process for transfers and promotions, especially as the BMC currently has over 1,500 vacant engineer positions. The new system aims to restore fairness and morale among the engineers, who have felt demoralized by the previous transfer practices.
