Mumbai: Maharashtra chief minister
Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday (May 5) urged the Centre and President Ram Nath Kovind to step in and help the Marathas in the state to get quota as the Supreme Court struck down the 2018 law, giving quota in government jobs and education to the Marathas, by terming it unconstitutional . The Supreme Court has said that this is not a decision for the state to take on its own. This is something the Centre and President need to decide on. I appeal to the Centre and the President because the SC has now said that only they can take a decision, the chief minister said.

‘Requirement in 16 districts following spike in COVID-19 cases’
The Maharashtra government has demanded that the Centre enhance allocation of liquid medical oxygen (LMO) to the State by at least 200 metric tonnes (MT) daily as its requirement in 16 districts has risen following a spike in COVID-19 cases.
In a letter addressed to Union Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba on May 3, Chief Secretary Sitaram Kunte also demanded that 10 LMO tankers be allocated to the State.
The State government has requested that the supply from Jamnagar in Gujarat be increased to 225 MT per day from the current 125 MT and from Bhilai to 230 MT per day from the current 130 MT. “These geographically close locations will reduce the turnaround time of oxygen tankers, which are limited in number,” Mr. Kunte said.
