MCD not to recruit new staff to replace ‘ghost’ employees

“There is no question of recruiting new staff in place of those employees as our work is going on fine without them,” Sain told PTI.

“We have sent all the related files to Lt Governor Tejinder Khanna and requested him to recommend a CBI probe into the matter,” he said.

“Meanwhile,I have directed the Commissioner to stop the salary of all those employees who have not been physically verified or have not given their thumb impressions to the authorities. How to do it will be decided by the Commissioner,” he said.

He,however,admitted that names and designations of all such employees are yet to be known.

Leader of MCD House Subhash Arya said the MCD is starting biometric system for daily wagers too and may also introduce the same for the 24,682 employees of the Education Department soon.

“We are also introducing flying squads to check that employees does not go missing in between after registering their attendance in the morning,” he said.
