Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) ordered a one-day salary deduction from employees' October 2026 pay for drought relief, expecting about Rs 2 crore in the chief minister's relief fund.
The order shows how state drought appeals can reach government workers' paychecks directly. It also signals how severe Maharashtra's drought situation has become this season.
Check: PCMC employees should verify October payslip deductions and file written objections within two days if they oppose the cut.
