Referring to the decision on the promotion of police constables, Thackeray said the decision had been pending for years. 'This decision will come as a morale booster for constables who can be promoted to higher ranks and also plays a key role in resolving the cases. The state home department will also take decisions on providing cashless medical treatment,' he said.

Maharashtra Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil said this promotion-related policy was first conceived by former home minister R R Patil. "He had taken a lot of efforts to formulate this policy,' Walse Patil added. Top bureaucrats and police officers attended the event.
