Maharashtra govt orders probe into mention of Covid-19 on marksheets

The Maharashtra government has ordered an inquiry after marksheets of agriculture universities in the state were found to have the words “promoted COVID-19” stamped on them. State Agriculture minister Dada Bhuse ordered inquiry after BJP leader Ashish Shelar raised the issue.

AIR correspondent reports that in a letter to the director general of Maharashtra Council of Agriculture Education and Research and vice- chancellors of agriculture universities, minister Bhuse said that the government had not given any instruction that marksheets should mention that the student has been promoted without holding examination due to the pandemic.

The minister stated that action will be taken against those found responsible. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has appealed that the coming Bakri Eid should be celebrated in a simple and if possible “symbolic” manner in view of the coronavirus pandemic.

He also asked people to avoid crowding during the festival which falls on August 1 and stated that there should be no insistence on provision of marketplace for purchasing goats for Bakri Eid.
