Mumbai, Feb. 14 -- Posts of 15 chief engineers (CEs), who head and monitor projects in crucial departments of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) such as roads and traffic, bridges, building proposals, development plan, sewerage, hydraulic, and storm water drains are lying vacant. What will further hamper the work on ongoing projects is the absence of sub-engineers and junior engineers, who have been deployed on election duty since February 10, civic officials said.

A civic official alleged that the posts are being deliberately kept vacant, so that the BMC has one deputy doing the job of two engineers. "There have been no promotions to the post of chief engineers for a year. The BMC is artificially creating a problem."
