Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said his government will undertake a mega recruitment drive after completing a 150-day programme aimed at cadre restructuring, updating recruitment rules and finalising compassionate appointments, reported news agency PTI.

Responding to a calling attention motion in the assembly regarding vacancies under Scheduled Tribes (ST) category, Fadnavis said all departments have been directed to complete internal reforms before finalising vacancy figures.

"The government has already filled over one lakh posts as part of the previously announced recruitment of 75,000 positions. We will not hold back on recruitment where needed," he said, reported PTI.
