The order issued yesterday by the Ulhasnagar municipal commissioner, Manohar Hire, stated that the said employees were responsible for low collection of LBT in the corporation, and hence were being suspended.
The order further stated that the action was being taken as despite repeated instructions, there was no result, hence leading to losses for the corporation.
