Sub :   Our sincere request / representation   to cancel the Maratha Reservations. Respected Sirs, From newspaper reports of today, we learn that the Maharashtra government has on Friday, December 5, 2014, filed a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court against the order of the Bombay High Court that stayed reservations in jobs and educational institutions for the Maratha community.

November 29, 2014 The Hon. Chief Minister, Govt. of Maharashtra, Mantralaya, Mumbai. CC: Shri Sanjay Kelkar ji, Hon. MLA, Thane City Dear Sirs, Sub: Request NOT to approve Cluster Development Scheme for Thane, as proposed by the previous govt..

ALERT CITIZENS FORUM OF INDIA A7/303, Saket CHSL, Saket Marg, Thane (W), 400601, # 8879528575 December 9, 2014 The Hon. Minister for Public Works, Govt of Maharashtra, Nagpur, Maharashtra.
