The Mapusa Municipal Council (MMC) has decided to enhance the remuneration of daily wage employees and the contract staff with a condition that they put their best foot forward in terms of work output.
The councillors were of the opinion that there was a tendency among the civic staff to drag and delay completion of work which ultimately affects the common man.
“There is a perception among the general public that the employees are not working properly. On many occasions, the files suddenly go missing and people are made to visit the municipal council umpteen times for no fault of theirs,” said Anand Bhaidkar, councillor of ward 1.
Ward 5 councillor Shashank Narvekar suggested hiking the salary to Rs 25,000 per month but with a rider that they perform their duty with dedication.
“The hike should be treated as an incentive to do good work so that we can offer them further increment in future,” Narvekar said.
