Maharashtra Government Ends Physical Newspaper Supply for Ministers, Moves to Online Subscriptions
The Maharashtra government will stop providing physical newspapers and magazines to deputy chief ministers and ministers from September 1, requiring them to switch to online subscriptions. Ministers must arrange subscriptions through their administrative departments, which will cover expenses from office budgets after bill submission. The chief minister's office and residence will continue receiving physical copies, with costs borne by the General Administration Department. This change ends a longstanding centralized system of supplying printed materials to ministers.
