A group of officials at the Uran Municipal Council has approached senior authorities seeking transfers, citing alleged interference in administrative functioning and increasing workplace stress.
According to representations submitted to higher authorities, officers across cadres have raised concerns over what they describe as continued involvement of elected representatives in routine administrative matters.
Allegations of pressure and complaints
Officials have claimed that disagreements within the civic body have begun to affect day-to-day functioning, with some alleging that complaints are being filed against staff at higher offices, leading to added pressure.
While these claims remain unverified, they have been cited by officials as a contributing factor behind their request for transfers.
Concerns over working environment
In their submissions, officers have indicated that the prevailing situation has affected morale and created a challenging working environment. Some have also referred to stress impacting their personal lives.
The representations include requests from state-level cadre officials to be reassigned, stating that the current conditions have made it difficult to continue functioning effectively.
Impact on civic administration flagged
Officials have further stated that the situation may have implications for the delivery of civic services and ongoing development works in the town.
There has been no official response so far from the municipal leadership regarding the allegations.
Awaiting administrative response
The matter now rests with senior administrative authorities, who are expected to examine the representations and take a view on the requests for transfer as well as the concerns raised.
