Overview
- Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde instructed Pune Municipal Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram to induct Asawari Jagdale into government service on compassionate grounds.
- The Chief Minister’s office called the commissioner twice to expedite the case, with Devendra Fadnavis reported to be personally tracking the appointment.
- Officials contacted Asawari to verify her qualifications, and the PMC was directed to place her in a permanent Class‑2 role aligned with her education.
- Asawari says she is still awaiting written confirmation after nearly a year of delays, noting that her family’s savings have been exhausted since her father’s killing.
- The push followed public appeals by NCP‑SP MP Supriya Sule, BJP’s Navnath Ban, and a letter from MP Medha Kulkarni to Union Home Minister Amit Shah referencing the state’s post‑attack job and ₹50 lakh aid promise.
