Maharashtra minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil on Tuesday asked officials to fast-track Kunbi caste certificate applications filed by Marathas in all eight Marathwada districts, according the PTI. 

The move follows a September 2025 government resolution, based on the Hyderabad Gazetteer, allowing such applications across Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Beed, Hingoli, Jalna, Latur, Nanded, Dharashiv and Parbhani.
