Aurangabad, Dec 16:
In a surprising development, the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) administrator Astik Kumar Pandey, today issued transfer orders of 22 personnel, who were working in the same sections, for the past many years. They were not transferred so far, due to their political connections.
Ten officials working in different sections of AMC''s building number three are either transferred or given additional responsibility. In the category of junior engineers, Krishna Daud (of Zone No.8) is given the additional responsibility of tax assessment section (of Zone No.1); B N Kankate is transferred from Zone No.1 to Zone No.9; M R Rajput and sub-overseer R M Surase are transferred from Zone No.2 to anti-encroachment section and G V Bhange (of Town Planning section) is given the additional responsibility of Zone No.6.
