Civic body had sought permission for recruitment to over 5,000 posts
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) employs over 18,000 personnel in its offices across the 8 zones in the city. However, the civic body still faces manpower shortage. In fact, it had sought permission from the State Government to allow recruitment for 5,427 posts of different cadres. But, the Government has now accorded permission for recruitment to only 274 posts.
According to official sources, the civic body sent the proposal seeking permission for recruitment to over 5,000 posts in December 2021. Thereafter, the Government sought a detailed report from BBPM regarding the posts, including cadre, grade, salary and yearly administrative expenditure. The BBMP was also directed to indicate the number of posts that were most essential.
