98 Maratha applicants receive OBC certificates in 3 months
In the Marathwada region, a small number of Maratha people have received special certificates called OBC certificates.
These certificates are given to help certain groups of people get better opportunities.
The government received many applications, but only 98 people got these certificates in three months.
This happened because of a protest by a man named Manoj Jarange who wanted Marathas to be included in the OBC group.
Only 98 Maratha applicants from Marathwada received OBC certificates in three months.
595 applications were received from the region since September 2.
The certificates were issued following Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange’s agitation.
Divisional Commissioner Jitendra Papalkar provided the information.
The process took place in the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar division.
