It seems the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is no longer a popular place to work. In the past two years, more than 80 officers from several departments have bid goodbye to the civic body by taking voluntary retirement or resigning. One of the main reasons for the sudden increase in people quitting their ‘relaxed government job’ is more transparency in the system, which expects officers to be more responsible for their work.

Due to the vacancies created by the quitting engineers, senior engineers in the BMC are looking after several departments, thus facing increased work pressure. File pic
