ANI reports that the Maharashtra cabinet on September 9th has decided to introduce a bill for reservation of seats in medical colleges of government and municipal corporations.

The bill will allow reservation of 10 per cent seats in MBBS course. It will be mandatory for the students availing this reservation to give at least 5-year service in government hospitals after completing their course.
