Mumbai, 10 Feb (HS):

Creation of 11 new posts of Deputy Collector has been approved by the Maharashtra

Cabinet on Tuesday. The decision has been taken to expedite work in the Revenue

Department and to ensure transparency. At the same time the burden will be

reduced on the Additional Collectors, which are handling issues related to 39

subjects, including minor minerals management, land management under Nagar

Parishad and rural areas, crowd control, land records, land acquisition and

rehabilitation, gharkul scheme etc.

With the growing developmental

works undertaken by the government in rural and tribal areas, there is need for

the additional officers. The Cabinet, therefore, decided to create additional

posts.
