New Delhi: With hardly any applicants for the newly created posts after MCD trifurcation, many heads of departments of the erstwhile civic body have been given additional charge to look after all the three corporations. 
    Officials say the MCD received only two applications for 19 posts. MCD was supposed to finish the appointment of new department heads for the three corporations by April-end. “We have not received too many applications. Still, we are hopeful that the process will be completed before the new corporations are formed,” said a senior MCD official. It will take at least two months to appoint the department heads, the official said. 
    Even after the split, some departments will function as if under a unified corporation till the posts are filled. Also, the three commissioners will hold their review meetings together for the time being. “As of now, we have asked the department heads to look after the functioning of all the corporations as a whole. 
    In some departments where we had an eligible candidate, we have divided the work. For instance, the present director for press and information will look after all the three corporations,’’ the official said. 
    The present department heads, such as CA-cum-CFO, assessor and collector, press and information, director of horticulture, will work as if in a unified corporation. The officials with additional charge will ensure proper shifting of records.
