Pune: Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) Additional Municipal Commissioner Sheetal Ugale-Teli has been transferred before her tenure was completed. The State Government issued her transfer order on Thursday. City-based Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders were demanding her transfer.
Ugale-Teli has been posted as Chairman of Nagpur Metropolitan Regional Development Authority. Now Rubal Agrawal will take charge of the post of Pune additional municipal commissioner.
PMC corporators including the BJP were unhappy with the working style of Ugale-Teli. Municipal employees and officials also demanded transfer Ugale-Teli as she had not taken any decision on promotions of employees. During the General Body meeting, BJP corporators along with other party corporators openly demanded her transfer.
While speaking to Sakal Times, Shrinath Bhimale, Leader of the House in PMC said, “It is true that employees and corporators were not happy with her work. But her transfer is completely the State Government’s decision.”
He said, “A lot of development work files were pending on her table. Therefore, city development was hampered.”
Despite several attempts to contact Sheetal Ugale-Teli, she did not answer calls.
