Her services were resumed with a technical gap of one day till her appointment was regularised by MPSC. Authorities rejected her application citing that she had not completed 20 years of service.Salunke was appointed on ad hoc basis as is the norm and was contemplating regular appointment through Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC). Salunke died of her illness in June.
