Karnataka PWD Department facing problem of too many engineers

The surplus accounts for nearly 40% over the sanctioned strength

An excess of nearly 40% engineers over the sanctioned strength in the Public Works Department, coupled with confusion over trifurcation of the department, is causing problems of plenty, including of a large pool of skilled technicians languishing without posts or promotions. While six chief engineers have not been given postings, at least eight posts of chief engineer have either been given to people on contract or to Superintending Engineers who are holding charge of the post of chief engineer.
