The state cabinet on Wednesday came out with a solution to end the Maratha leader Manoj Jarange’s nine-day fast for the quota. One of the decisions is to give Marathas, who were notified as Kunbis in the erstwhile Nizam state, the Other Backward Class (OBC) concessions. The second was to form a panel headed by a retired high court judge to decide the process of certification of Marathas in Marathwada as Kunbis, based on the generational documentary evidence.
