Days after an alleged purchase and distribution of substandard uniforms to Class IV female employees of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) controversy came to the fore (‘Civic officials issued show-cause notice over poor quality uniforms’, August 23), it has been learnt that Class IV workers are yet to get raincoats they were supposed to last October.

Though the civic body spent spent Rs 25 lakh for purchasing raincoats this year, Class IV employees are yet to receive them.
