The Maharashtra government has issued 14 government resolutions (GRs) addressing demands raised by tribal communities ahead of a march towards Mumbai organised by Shramjeevi Sanghatna, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said on Tuesday. The measures cover education, access to essential services, forest rights, rehabilitation and minimum wages for sanitation workers.
Meanwhile, thousands of tribals marching towards the Maharashtra secretariat in Mumbai from Thane district to press for various demands have withdrawn the protest after Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis directed officials to expedite measures to address the issues.
