The error was partially repeated in a corrective order issued by the department on the same day.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>Following criticism from opposition councillors and questions over the apparent lack of verification, the department issued a third order on Friday evening, keeping all previous transfer and posting orders in abeyance due to administrative reasons.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">TOI <\/span>reviewed the document, which confirmed that all transfer orders issued earlier in the day had been withdrawn pending verification.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The first order included the name of junior engineer Apurv Bhatnagar, who died several months ago, and that of another deceased engineer, Prateek, for transfer to a different zone or department. The name of suspended junior engineer Gaurav Garg was also on the list, said an official.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>After the discrepancies were pointed out, the engineering department issued a revised order withdrawing the transfers of only two officials, Bhatnagar and Atul Kumar Suman, a civil junior engineer, claimed AAP councillor and leader of the opposition in MCD Ankush Narang. However, the revised withdrawal order did not mention the names of the other two officials from the original list.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Sharing copies of the orders on X, Narang alleged that the episode exposed serious administrative lapses within the civic body and demanded an inquiry. <!-- -->He also questioned how the mistake went unnoticed despite the order carrying the signature of the additional deputy commissioner.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>\u201cDepartmental action should be taken against the responsible officials. A digital verification system should be implemented to prevent such incidents in the future. The lapse reflects the state to which the administrative system has deteriorated,\u201d Narang said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>A municipal official attributed the issue to human error and said corrective action was initiated as soon as the lapse came to notice. He added that all transfer orders had been put on hold and a fresh verification exercise would be carried out before taking any further action.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/delhi\/mcd-orders-transfer-of-deceased-suspended-employees\/articleshow\/131558173.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File photo for representation New Delhi: Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) appears to have lost track of the status of at least some of its employees, with transfer orders issued by its engineering department even for officials who have either died or are under suspension.The lapse came to light on Friday when a transfer order [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16293,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[150],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-delhi"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
