Fadnavis Defends Special Public Safety Act, Says Law Aimed at Urban Maoist Threats, Not Citizens

Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis defended the proposed Special Public Safety Act aimed at combating threats from Maoist organisations relocating to urban areas. The law, discussed with journalist bodies, focuses on unlawful activities while ensuring citizen freedom. Offenses will be cognizable and non-bailable, with severe penalties for association with unlawful groups.
