The Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill has been finalised by a joint select committee of the state legislature.
CM Fadnavis reviewed the bill's draft on Monday. "There was a presentation of the draft finalised by the joint committee and the bill will be tabled this week or next week," the official said.
The bill aims to prevent unlawful activities of individuals and organisations with focus on Naxalism.
