TOI : PUNE: The Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) has suspended two of its depot managers for alleged dereliction of duty.

The managers facing action are Kailas Gawde of Kothrud depot, and Vijaysinh Pardeshi of Hadapsar depot. The duo has been charged with not running buses as per schedule and failing to deploy drivers and conductors as per their duty timings.
While the action was initiated last Friday, both Gawde and Pardeshi when contacted by TOI had denied that they had been suspended. “An enquiry is on,” is all what Gawde had to say. Pardeshi, when contacted, said that no action has been initiated against him.

But the PMPML managing director Subrao Patil confirmed that the two officers have been suspended. “They were earlier warned to mend their ways but they failed to do so and hence the action,” Patil told TOI.

Asked if showcause notices have been issued to them, Patil said they were directly suspended. “An enquiry would be initiated against them now,” he added. Print EMail DiscussNew B…More
