Senior IAS officer Tukaram Mundhe has been appointed secretary of a committee investigating alleged paper leaks and irregularities in Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) examinations. The development follows an 11-day protest by aspirants in Pune demanding accountability and reforms. The five-member panel will be headed by retired judge Dilip Bhosale and is expected to submit its report within 60 days. MPSC chairman Vivek Bhimanwar has decided to go on leave until the inquiry is completed. The state government has also agreed to withdraw cases against protesters and double the number of Group C posts planned for recruitment through the 2027 examination. (PC: The Times of India)
