Marathi as a mandatory for official works of local bodies in Maharashtra

The Maharashtra Legislative Assembly passed a bill to make the use of the Marathi language mandatory in official works of local authorities.

The Maharashtra Official Language Act, 1964, did not make compulsory to use Marathi for the local authorities to use Marathi in their official works.

The use of English or Hindi by local authorities for certain government works, like communicating with foreign ambassadors is allowed.
