165 civic staffers told to submit caste certificates in 15 days or lose jobs

AS many as 165 employees of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) are facing the prospect of losing their jobs if they fail to submit their caste validity certificates within 15 days. Additional Municipal Commissioner Pravin Ashtikar said 165 PCMC employees from Class III and Class IV were asked to submit their caste validity certificates by April 27 this year. However, several extensions later, the civic body issued a final warning, asking its employees to submit the papers within 15 days or lose their jobs.
