NMC Assistant Commissioner Ghanshyam Pendhre Suspended Over Misconduct Charges The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has suspended Assistant Commissioner Ghanshyam Pendhre, who is currently assigned to the Gandhibagh Zone, pending further investigation into allegations of misconduct and irregularities. The suspension order, issued by NMC Commissioner Vipin Itankar on Tuesday, was enforced immediately under Rule 4(1) of the Maharashtra Civil Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1979. Pendhre’s suspension is effective from the date of the order, and during this period, he is required to remain at the headquarters of the General Administration Department at the NMC’s new administrative building. He is prohibited from leaving the premises without prior approval and is barred from engaging in private or semi-government employment or private business. A subsistence allowance will be provided to Pendhre in accordance with the Maharashtra Civil Services (Joining Time, Foreign Service and Payments during Suspension, Dismissal and Removal) Rules, 1981. The NMC’s administration branch has been instructed to initiate a departmental inquiry and submit all necessary documents, including the charge sheet and supporting annexures, within seven days. The inquiry will be overseen by senior civic officials, including the additional commissioner, deputy commissioner of the General Administration Department, chief accounts and finance officer, legal officer, and other relevant personnel. However, the suspension order does not specify the nature of the alleged misconduct or irregularities, and details are expected to emerge during the inquiry process. Pendhre’s suspension occurs amid a staffing crisis within the NMC.#gandhibagh_zone #nagpur_municipal_corporation #nmc_commissioner_vipin_itankar #ghanshyam_pendhre #maharashtra_civil_services_rules
