Ahmedabad, 28 June 2024 (Google translation from Gujarati)
Ahmedabad, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has a policy of divide and rule.
Arjav Shah and two other officers, who were appointed as Deputy Commissioners in 2008-09, also went against the rules and increased their pay grade several times. There was no dispute in that case. This time also, the role of Deputy Commissioners Arjav Shah and Mihir Patel is important in increasing the pay grade of Assistant Commissioners.
Municipal Corporation BJP officials and high-ranking officials are made senior officers overnight. Some officers are given direct seniority by increasing the pay grade.
A proposal has been prepared to increase the pay grade of five Assistant Municipal Commissioners and five HOD level officers. If the Municipal Corporation officials approve the proposal, then the Additional City Engineer level officers will become junior overnight. Whereas the officers recruited after that will become senior.
The pay grade of Assistant City Commissioners recruited in 2008 in Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation is currently 7600. After 14 years of service, their pay grade can be increased to 8700 but two Deputy Commissioner level officers have prepared a controversial proposal. According to which the pay grade of these officers has been increased from 8700 to 8900.
Due to which their pay grade will be higher than Additional City Engineer and they will also become senior to them in terms of pay grade. Along with five Assistant Commissioners, the pay grade of five HOD level officers will also be increased.
The Assistant Commissioners recruited in 2018 have completed almost seven years of their job. After the next 7 years, their pay grade will also become 8900. This means that people who are 25 or 30 years old at the time of recruitment will become senior officers of Additional City Engineer at the age of 40 to 45 years.
Most of the officers get promoted to the post of Additional Engineer around the time of retirement. The junior officers recruited before him have to work under him today, which also breaks their morale.
Such wrong practice has been going on for a long time in Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, recently a very junior officer has been appointed to the post of CT Engineer (Water Resources Management), which has caused resentment among senior officers.
