Fresh dates will be announced soon: CM
The Maharashtra government’s decision to postpone the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exams in the wake of rising COVID-19 cases sparked protests across the State on Thursday, with aspirants taking to the streets in Pune, Aurangabad, and other cities even as Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said that fresh dates would be announced on Friday.
“This postponement is not for two or three months, but merely for a few days. I have directed MPSC officials to end this confusion and announce the new exam date on Friday. The exams will be held within eight days of the new schedule,” said Mr. Thackeray even as protests from the aspirants, the majority of whom hail from Maharashtra’s rural hinterland, rattled the State.
