Pimpri: In the Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial (YCM) Hospital of Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, for the last 10 to 15 years, Honorarium staff are serving the patients. While the matter of induction of them into permanent service on the establishment of the corporation is pending, the corporation has now published the recruitment advertisement for the permanent post in YCM.
It would be unfair to the previous employees to replace the employees working on honorarium basis for the last several years with new permanent posts. BJP city president and MLA Mahesh Landge has demanded justice for the employees serving honestly during the COVID period.

In this regard, MLA Landge has given a letter to the Commissioner of Municipal Corporation. For the last 10 to 15 years, honorarium employees are engaged in the service of patients in Yashwantrao Chavan Smriti (YCM) Hospital of Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. The nature of work of permanent employees and honorarium employees is the same. However, the facilities for honorarium employees are less as compared to permanent employees. Employees on honorarium have repeatedly requested the municipal administration to accommodate them permanently in the establishment of the municipal corporation.
not resolved
However, these employees got nothing but assurances from the corporation. Honorary employees had agitated six months ago. At that time the administration had promised to accommodate these employees in the establishment of the Municipal Corporation after Diwali, which was not fulfilled. In the general meeting of the corporation, a resolution was passed to permanently accommodate these employees working on honorarium basis in the establishment of the corporation. The Municipal Corporation has sent the file to the State Government. Due to some errors in the file, the file was sent back to the Municipality. This file was received by the Municipal Corporation three months ago. However, the errors in that file have not been resolved yet.
employees should be given priority
Even though the related file is in the municipal corporation, it is being said that ‘this file is with the state government’. Meanwhile, the corporation has now published an advertisement to fill this vacancy permanently. Advertisement for permanent recruitment has been issued while the question of honorarium employees is pending. Instead of solving this problem, the appointment of permanent employees along with the employees working on honorarium basis for many years will be unfair. Therefore, MLA Mahesh Landge has demanded that permanent recruitment should be stopped till this issue is resolved and priority should be given to the employees working on honorarium for the last several years.
