Hyderabad: The State government has decided to adopt unified service rules in all civic bodies from August. This has been finalised during a high-level meeting chaired by chief secretary SP Singh. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) officials claimed that the government will soon hold a cabinet meeting to finalise the issue.
Highlights:
- Move to shunt tainted officials to other departments
- Plan to reshuffle 25 pc of civic staff
According to highly placed sources, the government has been framing rules in such a way that every employee working in municipal bodies across the State would serve his/her duties for not more than 18 months at one place. The move by the government may not eradicate corruption but would definitely minimise it, say officials. The unified service rules would be applicable to all departments including Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority, Hyderabad Water Supply and Sewerage Board.
The GHMC is all set to implement unified service rules by August. The officials also said that the State government is contemplating to transfer officials in four phases in four academic years. The government has already prepared a draft copy of unified service rules and is awaiting Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s approval.
Sources say that the State government has instructed the corporation and other municipalities to prepare a list of officials who have been facing allegations. In all probability, the tainted officials would be transferred to other municipalities and corporations.
A senior GHMC official told The Hans India that the Municipal Administration and Urban Development department officials have already prepared draft copy of unified service rules recently and sent the same to Chief Minister for his approval. He said that the government has decided to reshuffle 25 per cent of municipal staff across the State.
