As a part of efforts to re-construct all damaged files in wake of the devastating fire at the state secretariat, Maharashtra government has made three classifications to retrieve the documents.
To recover the damaged files, the classifications would be made in the form of - documents and applications received from citizens, from within state government offices and departments and central government and other offices.

According to a circular issued by Chief Secretary J.K. Banthiya, all district collectors have been asked to reach out to citizens asking them to deposit receipts of their application made at state secretariat 'Mantralaya' along with a copy and related documents with the tehsil office.
Special cell should be set up to accept these documents. "District collectors should ensure that the documents reach Mantralaya at the earliest. The information and publicity department should inform the public about the list of departments which have been damaged in the fire," a circular issued by Banthiya said.
The circular said all government departments should cross check the documents sent to other ministries in Mantralaya and on which decisions were pending.
