The Maharashtra government is set to crack down on government employees using social media for personal glorification. Within three months, new rules will be introduced to curb such practices and impose disciplinary action against violators. 

On Wednesday, in the state Legislative Council, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis admitted that government employees were misusing social media, not just for self-promotion but also, in some cases, to post content against the government. “Social media needs to be used. But, it should be for public connect or engagement and not for personal glorification,” Fadnavis stated.
