Maharashtra Forms Committee with Tukaram Mundhe to Overhaul MPSC Amid 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 recruitment for 70,000 posts, withdrawal of cases against protesters, and background checks on MPSC officials. MPSC Chairman Vivek Bhimanwar proceeded on leave during the inquiry. NCP MLA Rohit Pawar, involved in the protest, welcomed the committee's formation but emphasized the need for Bhimanwar's removal.
