The BBMP Workers’ Association has demanded an end to the system of deputing officials from the other departments to the civic body.
At a meeting with Bengaluru city in-charge Minister Ramalinga Reddy on Tuesday, the association said that instead of deputing officials to the civic body from other departments, BBMP employees should be promoted to fill vacancies in higher positions.
Among their 30-point list of demands was filling of nearly 6,000 vacancies at various levels.
Mr. Reddy assured that the State government will take steps – either through Cabinet decisions on filling up posts or through the municipal administration – to fulfil the demands.
