VMC is taking up new practices against the rules. Sometimes HODs and sometimes employees are allegedly manipulating the rules in their favour. APCOS was installed under the regime of YSRC, but it is still in place. All the outsourcing employees are under APCOS only. There is a discussion on whether to continue it or not in government circles. But as far as the government is concerned, no official statement has been issued until now.
However, more than 250 outsourcing jobs are being filled through the old system of allocating work to the DWACRA group members. The lists of candidates are ready, but no notification has been issued for this purpose. Earlier, before the elections, a notification was issued and interviews were also conducted, but the recruitment was stalled due to the election code. After the commencement of the new government, all those interviews were thrown into the dustbin.
Now, recruitment is allegedly going on through the MLAs and MPs of the ruling party. It seems all the leaders have given their reference lists to the Commissioner. Based on those lists, the recruitment may happen. Until now, there is no clarification. All the candidates who appeared for interviews earlier are in shock, and nobody is caring about them. Some others have allegedly paid amounts to the Mayor at that time. No inquiry or action has been taken in the regime of the new government, despite the allegations against the YSRCP Mayor.
Example of VMC Officials’ Manipulations:
Mr. Raj Kumar is working as a Sanitary Inspector in the Excel compound. He retired in December 2024. He was again appointed as a Sanitary Inspector through APCOS in January 2025. He is still receiving a pension of Rs. 40,000 and also drawing a salary as an outsourcing employee. As per the rules, no retired employee who is receiving a pension can be appointed as an outsourcing employee. Now, VMC has to clarify who made this appointment and who is responsible for it.
