The MPSC circular read: “Many areas got disconnected due to flooding. The meteorological department has predicted heavy rainfall in the coming days. In this situation, the MPSC had decided to postpone the examination.”

Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis remarked, “We had written a letter to the MPSC demanding postponement.The MPSC has given positive feedback to it.”

Welcoming the move, an aspirant said, “It’s a good decision as youths in flood-hit regions would have faced difficulty in travelling to exam centres.”
