In this regard, a petition was submitted by the Federation of All Officers Associations President V. Radhakrishnan to Mayor of Erode Corporation on Thursday after staging a demonstration in front of the Erode Corporation.
He said due to the GO 152 issued by Municipal Administration Department, 20 types of posts would be eliminated in all 20 Municipal Corporations in Tamil Nadu. More than 35 thousand posts would be reduced to 3,417 posts.
