Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is currently functioning with a massive staff shortage, as more than 56,000 posts remain vacant. The shortage spans multiple departments and has been a long-standing concern, especially at a time when the civic body is handling large infrastructure projects, public health responsibilities, and essential services for over 1.2 crore residents.

At the same time the Maharashtra government has announced a large-scale recruitment drive of 70,000 posts across various state departments, reported Loksatta. As part of this broader hiring plan, 9,295 posts will be filled within the BMC. These civic-level recruitments are expected to provide much-needed relief to the municipal administration, which has been operating with limited manpower.

According to data shared by Loksatta, the BMC currently has a sanctioned strength of 1,45,256 posts across various departments. Of these, only 89,130 positions are filled, leaving 56,126 posts vacant. The administration confirmed that recruitment for 9,295 posts across different cadres is underway. So far, the process for 5,486 posts has been completed, while the remaining vacancies will be filled in phases based on urgency and operational requirements.

With thousands of positions in the pipeline, the recruitment drive is being seen as a significant step towards strengthening Mumbai’s civic administration. However, given that over 56,000 posts are currently vacant, even the proposed 9,295 recruitments will address only a portion of the overall shortage.

The state government’s announcement has raised expectations that the long-pending vacancies in the BMC will now begin to be filled in a phased and systematic manner.
