Goverment Jobs raining at Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation
Jobs are raining at Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, literally. The delimitation has increased the number of wards to 64 from the earlier 43 which means more people will be needed to service these areas. Officials say the corporation will recruit more than 1500 people over the next two months.
The administrative office has asked all the departments to send a schedule for the requirement of employees so that the hiring process can be started in time. According to an official in the General Administration Department, all vacancies will be in the grade of class II and class III.
The municipal corporation will hire about 300 junior clerks and about 100 people in the Urban Community Development Department. Ahmedabad Fire and Emergency Department will be the top recruiter with around 550 people. Of these 300 will be operational staff.
Said the official, “Besides this, we will be recruiting assistant engineers and technical supervisors. The departments are yet to send the final schedules but the total number of people recruited will cross 1500.” The official claimed that every month at least 30 people retire from AMC.
Said another senior official, “The requirement of the fire department is the highest as 13 fire stations are coming up in the city. And, of course, there is the usual attrition and retirement.” The New West Zone will emerge as the largest municipal zone with 10 of the 21 new wards falling in it.
Obviously, the zone will get a substantial chunk of the new recruits. In 2006, AMC’s net area grew to 466 square kilometres from 190 square kilometres.
