Devendra Fadnavis, the chief minister of Maharashtra, said on Thursday that the state government is putting in place a security mechanism to ensure the protection of the secretariat, Mantralaya.
“To ensure the Mantralaya’s safety, we are building a security system… Every visitor to the Mantralay will get a pass under this. “The pass must be returned by the departing individual,” CM Fadnavis said reporters during a cabinet meeting in Mumbai.
He said that it has been determined to generate an ID for employment, just as Aadhaar is a unique ID. “A unique ID will be created for each work,” he said.
According to the Maharashtra chief minister, the e-cabinet would be launched in order to transfer cabinet papers electronically.
“The lands for the farmers which became of Class 2 category because they could not repay the revenue dues 30-40 years ago, our government has decided to convert those lands to Class 1 and return them to the farmers,” he said.
Devendra Fadnavis met with top home department and police officials earlier today to evaluate the security measures at the Mantralaya, the state headquarters in south Mumbai.
In a meeting with Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Fadnavis went over the security precautions at the Mantralaya.
“Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Chief Secretary, Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department, Director General of Police, Mumbai Police Commissioner and other senior officers of the Home Department were present in this meeting,” the CMO of Maharashtra said on X.
In the 280-member Maharashtra Assembly, the BJP gained 132 seats, making it the biggest party. Its partners, the NCP under Ajit Pawar and the Shiv Sena under Eknath Shinde, won 41 and 57 seats, respectively.
