Sources in the Mantralaya said the task of carrying out coordination among various security agencies like the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Police and agencies involved in disaster management falls under the Home department.
"So far, the home department has not intimated the departments concerned about any security-related meeting. However, the Chief Minister cancelled his meeting with a Shiv Sena delegation scheduled to be held this evening," sources said.
The Sena leaders were scheduled to meet Fadnavis to seek a special session over Maratha community's demand for reservation.
