Chief minister Ekanth Shinde told the legislative council last week that posts of the chief information commissioner (CIC) and three information commissioners (ICs) are vacant in Maharashtra. In a written reply to a question raised by MLCs Ranjitsinh Mohite-Patil and Satyajit Tambe, Shinde said the government issued advertisements inviting applications for the posts in February 2023 and scrutiny of applications was going on. Shinde said over 1 lakh second appeals were pending before the state information commission (SIC) as of May 2023.
