Nagpur, 12 Aug

(HS): The Maharashtra Cabinet has cleared the important proposal of the recruitment

of 15,000 police personnel in the state. The demand was being made for a long

period.

The cabinet

meeting on Tuesday was chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The

district-wise recruitment, however, was not clear. The decision to employ police

personnel, however, is important given the growing crime and pendency of

investigation. Several allegations were made against Fadnavis for growing crime

in his hometown, Nagpur.
