Shinde to head caretaker Govt until Mahayuti Cabinet is sworn-in
The swearing-in date of the BJP-dominated Mahayuti government has not been decided, but the word is that it could be Wednesday or even scheduled for December 1 or December 2.
Maharashtra Government is making arrangements for sending the body of a Kerala fisherman, who died on the sea off the Maharashtra coast, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Tuesday.
“Ratnagiri collector already in touch with Thiruvananthapuram collector since on Monday afternoon. All necessary arrangements being done to transport the body of Kerala fisherman,” Fadnavis, who is in Davos for the World Economic Forum meet, tweeted.
“Total 9 persons were on the boat. One lost a life, 5 left with the boat and three (are) with the body,” the chief minister said, in response to Congress leader and Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor’s tweet seeking help.

Tharoor had tagged Fadnavis in his tweet on Monday saying that fisherman Rajumon’s boat was near the Maharashtra coast, and sought help to bring the body onshore and transport it by air to Thiruvananthapuram.
Tharoor posted an update on Tuesday, saying Rajumon’s body has been brought ashore at Ratnagiri and taken to a local government hospital. It will be transported to Thiruvananthapuram after the autopsy, he said, thanking the Maharashtra government for co-operation.
Rajumon, whose boat was fishing off the Maharashtra coast, died after suddenly taking ill, reports said.
