Summary:
Kolkata: The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has constituted a seven-member committee to examine the reports of various departments regarding overtime duties or working on holidays by employees of their respective departments. The move comes in the wake of KMC needing to dole out high amounts in paying allowances for overtime or for duties on holidays. The committee was formed after Municipal Commissioner Khalil Ahmed issued a notification regarding the need to form a committee. Often there are instances when KMC employees including its senior officials have to work overtime or on holidays to ensure that civic amenities provided to the people of the city are not disrupted. According to sources in the KMC, the Municipal Commissioner is concerned about the reasonably high expenditure from the civic body's exchequer and wants to put a leash on this..
