The impending transfers of ward officers of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) have been put into effect; four offices are now getting new ward officers, while two more are expected to be shifted soon. Rajendra Choughley will replace Vashi ward officer Ashok Madhvi, who has been transferred to the first referral unit (FRU) in Vashi as an administrative officer. Koparkhairane ward officer Sanjay Tayade has been transferred to cess department. He will be replaced by Balkrushna Patil.

Anant Jadhav has been posted as a ward officer of Ghansoli and Sahebrao Gaikwad takes over as a ward officer in Airoli. The topic of transfers of ward officers had been featuring in civic meetings since April. Though the administration had assured that transfers would take place, it did not specify a time frame. The task had been pending owing to the bypolls to ward no54, and later since there was no full-time commissioner in the civic body.

However, once Abasaheb Jarhad took on the role, he began preparing a list of officials who completed over five years in the same department. “We have began the process and some officials have been transferred. Others will be transferred soon,” said Jarhad.

The move is being viewed as an attempt to streamline the administration and keep a check on the monopoly of certain officials, who have been working in the same department for over five years.
According to sources, there is an increasing demand for appointing ward officers on deputation with the municipal corporation.

There are eight ward offices in the jurisdiction of the NMMC and ward officials are responsible for keeping an eye on encroachments, debris dumping, hawkers and overall sanitation in their ward.
