Fill up vacancies before right to service law: Union to CM Devendra Fadnavis

MUMBAI: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis should first fill up over one lakh vacancies in government services before enacting Right to Service Legislation, the state government staff association said today.

"We welcome the decision to enact the legislation. However, Fadnavis should first fill up the vacancies which will enable effective implementation of the decision," G D Kulthe, chief advisor of Maharashtra State Gazetted Officers Association, said.
