Chief Minister Eknath Shinde Fadnavis ordered an immediate stay on the recently amended Right to Information regulations following a warning from activist Anna Hazare. Hazare announced he would begin an indefinite hunger strike on July 5 if the changes were not withdrawn. The suspension aims to avert a high‑profile protest and maintain public confidence in transparency reforms.
