<h1>Maharashtra Restructures Disaster Management Authority, Adds Chief Minister and Deputies Amidst Coalition Discord Rumors</h1> The Maharashtra government has restructured the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), appointing the chief minister and two deputy chief ministers as ex-officio members. This move follows the exclusion of Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena leader from the authority, sparking rumors of discord within the ruling coalition. The reconstituted SDMA will include 10 members, with the chief minister empowered to nominate ministers and three non-government disaster management experts. Previously, the SDMA was headed by the chief minister and included finance, relief, rehabilitation, and public health ministers. The authority is crucial for emergency response coordination in Maharashtra.
