Overview
- The BMC, which announced the changes Saturday, formed a special committee to handle inter-departmental transfers of engineers.
- The panel is chaired by the Director (Engineering and Services) who will take decisions on postings within the corporation.
- The civic body will build dedicated software for online transfers modeled on Maharashtra’s transport and veterinary systems.
- The digital process will run transfers end to end online to cut manual intervention and create a clear record of decisions.
- The step follows orders for about 122 transfers issued in October 2025 that were stayed and then cancelled after complaints, and union leaders said the change could curb political pressure in a workforce of about 4,500 with more than 1,500 jobs unfilled.
