IAS Anmol Sagar Orders BNCMC Reshuffle: 74 Long-Tenured Staff Transferred to Boost Accountability in Thane, Maharashtra

Major Shake-Up Targets Departmental Stagnation, Bureaucratic Arrogance
Indian Masterminds Stories

Thane, Maharashtra: In a bold administrative move, 2019 batch IAS officer Anmol Sagar, Commissioner and Administrator of the Bhiwandi-Nizampur City Municipal Corporation (BNCMC) in Thane district, Maharashtra, has transferred 74 municipal employees who had remained in the same departments for years – some reportedly since 2017.

The reshuffle is being implemented under Section 4 of the Maharashtra Government Servants Regulation of Transfers and Prevention of Delay Act, 2005, with instructions for immediate compliance.

The decision is seen as a direct attempt to dismantle entrenched bureaucratic comfort zones and long-standing monopolies within the municipal corporation.

Employees Held Posts for 8–10 Years, Backed by Political Influence

According to sources, several of the transferred employees had managed to remain at the same desks for 8 to 10 years, despite state government regulations mandating periodic staff rotations. These staffers reportedly enjoyed the patronage of powerful political figures, allowing them to evade transfers and dominate their respective departments.

This lack of movement created administrative silos, encouraged complacency, and led to growing public dissatisfaction. Complaints from citizens, activists, and elected representatives pointed to increasing inefficiency, delay in service delivery, and a culture of bureaucratic arrogance – often described locally as “babu-giri.”

Goal: Transparency, Discipline, and Efficient Service Delivery

The new reshuffle is aimed at restoring administrative balance by ensuring fair staff rotation and dismantling unofficial power centers. Commissioner Anmol Sagar has made it clear that refusal to comply with the new postings or attempts to reverse transfers through political or personal influence will invite strict disciplinary action.

Officials believe the policy will

  • Break entrenched monopolies
  • Enhance transparency and accountability
  • Improve response time in public service
  • Encourage a culture of adaptability and innovation

By exposing employees to new departments and roles, the administration hopes to curb red-tapism, promote professional development, and generate fresh ideas in municipal governance.

Public Applauds Long-Overdue Administrative Action

The reshuffle has been widely welcomed across Bhiwandi-Nizampur. Citizens and civil society groups have praised the Commissioner’s decision, calling it a long-awaited step to rein in favoritism, bureaucratic inertia, and corruption.

Activists note that this could be a turning point for BNCMC, pushing it toward becoming a more responsive, citizen-friendly, and professionally run urban body.

A senior activist remarked, “This is not just about transfers; it’s about breaking a system that has long worked for a few at the cost of many. We hope the momentum continues.”
