Chief ministerEknath Shindesaid that no village of Maharashtra will be allowed to merge with any other state.
Shinde’s statement comes against the backdrop of his Karnataka counterpart Basavraj Bommai’s comment.
Bommai had said that his government is actively considering the resolution of the Jath taluka villages to merge with Karnataka, as the Maharashtra government had allegedly failed to address the water and Irrigation problems there.
The resolution adopted by those villages was way back in 2012 when they faced water problems. However, since then, schemes have been planned in the Jath taluka villages, and some of them have been already been implemented. Others will be implemented in due course of time.
