MPSC aspirants have temporarily suspended their planned protest on October 2 following a meeting with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The delegation informed the government of their decision after receiving assurances on several key demands, including the immediate transfer of the MPSC Secretary, an inquiry into the paper leak issue, and large-scale recruitment to vacant government posts.
The MPSC Secretary will be transferred immediately, and offline examinations will continue without any changes. Additionally, the government has assured action against present and former MPSC Chairpersons and members in connection with the alleged paper leak issue, with a judicial inquiry expected to be completed within three months.
The aspirants also welcomed the government's commitment to conducting MPSC examinations offline and increasing vacancies linked to the Group C examination, which will be introduced at a "record" level.
