Mumbai confidential: Permanent Address
Despite the magnitude of MPSC's responsibility, the commission has been operating from a temporary facility at the Cooperage Telephone Exchange Building for years.
The MVA government has now decided to allot a permanent office to MPSC which will come up in Navi Mumbai. (Representational) The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) is a body that handles recruitment of suitable candidates for various posts in the state government. But despite the magnitude of its responsibility, the commission has been operating from a temporary facility at the Cooperage Telephone Exchange Building for years. The MVA government has now decided to allot a permanent office to MPSC which will come up in Navi Mumbai. Two important departments of the state government, the state tourism corporation and the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation, meanwhile, continue to operate from temporary offices.
FUTILE EXERCISE
Under the impression that it would be the single largest party in Goa, the AICC had asked the Maharashtra Congress to assist in government formation in the neighbouring state. The state Congress had even sent animal husbandry minister Sunil Kedar to Goa to facilitate its unit there. To avert possible poaching, the state Congress had also planned to shepherd Goa Congress MLAs to Kolhapur either by road or air because of its proximity to the state and strong Congress presence in the city. All these plans, however, went to waste as the party failed to put up a strong fight, which allowed the BJP to emerge as a dominant force in Goa.
