Maharashtra Orders PMC to Appoint Pahalgam Victim’s Daughter to Permanent Class-2 Post

Fresh orders seek to end a 10-month delay after media scrutiny drew cross‑party pressure.

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.
