Maharashtra Forms Committee with Tukaram Mundhe to Overhaul MPSC Amid Aspirant Protests
The Maharashtra government formed a committee to overhaul the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC), appointing FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe as secretary and former judge Dilip Bhosale as chairman. This follows a 10-11 day protest by aspirants in Pune demanding reforms, including investigation of alleged exam irregularities and paper leaks. The committee will probe these issues within 60 days. MPSC Chairman Vivek Bhimanwar has proceeded on leave during the inquiry, though his removal remains a key demand. Protesters also seek recruitment for 70,000 posts and withdrawal of cases against agitators.
