A large number of MPSC aspirants staged a protest march in Pune on Monday, demanding transparency in the recruitment process and action against the alleged paper leaks and irregularities in various examinations. The protesters demanded the resignation of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) chairman and secretary and the immediate appointment of officers with a "clean image" to the posts. The march began at Omkareshwar Temple Chowk and proceeded to the Pune District Collectorate, where protesters raised demands related to the functioning of the MPSC and examination procedures. NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar and Congress legislator Vishwajit Kadam joined the protesters, extending support to their demands. Pawar said the government must fulfil the protesters' demands. The protesters demanded that the commission provide, within eight days, an explanation on objections raised about the Drug Inspector (Group-B) examination and initiate an inquiry into alleged irregularities.
