The large number of covid cases has put load on the state government and administration. The rising cases has led to uncertainty about the various courses and recruitment examinations that were scheduled to take place in the state.
Against this backdrop, MNS chief Raj Thackeray called Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to discuss the MPSC exam. MNS chief demanded Uddhav Thackeray to postpone the MPSC examination against the backdrop of increasing number of covid cases.
