Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Wednesday welcomed Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's decision to stop the appointment of some of the ministers' personal secretaries (PSs) and officers on special duty (OSDs) on the suspicion of them being "fixers", reported news agency ANI.

"I welcome the decision of CM Devendra Fadnavis when he said that a few OSDs and PSs of ministers are involved in corruption and for that he used the term 'fixer'. And he said that he did not allow them to be appointed," Raut told reporters in Mumbai.
