Maharashtra Appoints 282 Navy Agniveers as Police Constables with Job Reservation
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced the appointment of 282 Navy Agniveers as police constables, including 150 Seaman Deckside and 132 Seaman Engineside personnel. The state government amended recruitment rules to provide reservation for Agniveers in government jobs. Fadnavis also indicated plans to extend similar opportunities to Army and Air Force Agniveers. This follows similar employment benefits announced by other states like Assam and Gujarat for Agniveers after their four-year military service.
