Maharashtra Govt Mandates Marathi Language Use in All State Offices

The Maharashtra government issued a resolution on Monday mandating the use of Marathi in all government offices. As per the directive, employees in government offices, semi-government offices, corporations under the state government, and other related institutions are required to communicate in Marathi with visitors, excluding those from foreign countries and non-Marathi-speaking states.

A formal complaint can be lodged with the in-charge of the respective office or department for appropriate action if the rule is violated. The resolution treats such violations as acts of official indiscipline.
