CM Shinde Helped An Injured Policewoman To Get Hospitalized

CM spotted the injured cop and send her to a Hospital

Maharashtra/ Mumbai: Ahead of being the new Chief Minister of the state, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde yesterday stepped forward to arrange the hospitalization of an injured policewoman in Thane.

The woman cop was among the security personnel deployed at the Thane Collector's Office where Mr. Shinde held a special meeting on Wednesday.

She suffered injuries in the crowd when Mr. Shinde was leaving the venue following the meeting.

As the Chief Minister spotted the injured cop, he made arrangements to send her to a private hospital in the city for treatment.

According to the officials, Mr. Shinde chaired the meeting at the Thane Collectorate yesterday to review the facilities to be provided to the Warkaris, devotees of Lord Vitthal, during Ashadhi Ekadashi, which falls on July 10.

The Chief Minister has announced a toll waiver for the vehicles of Warkaris, who will be visiting Pandharpur town on Ashadi Ekadashi, according to a statement issued by his office. He has directed the chief secretary to put stickers on their vehicles and get them registered with the local police.

Taking notes from the new state Govt., Mr. Shinde took oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra last week following a rebellion against the previous Uddhav Thackeray-led coalition government. BJP's Devendra Fadnavis, a former chief minister whose party is backing the rebel Shiv Sena faction, was sworn in as his deputy.

Earlier, a plea by the team Uddhav Thackeray, seeking disqualification of 16 MLAs of the Shinde camp, is before the Supreme Court. But even in the case of disqualification of 16 MLAs, the new government will have the numerical advantage.

Currently, the BJP has 106 MLAs, meanwhile, Mr. Shinde claims he has the support of 50, including 39 Sena rebels. Disqualification of 16 MLAs will bring the majority mark to 137, the government will still be in a comfortable position with a total strength of 140.
