Earlier in the day, Chief Minister Dhami finalised the long-awaited allocation of portfolios among ministers following the recent cabinet expansion.
After the swearing-in of five new ministers, the Chief Minister has retained several key and sensitive administrative departments under his direct control. Until now, he has been handling more than 35 departments.
According to the official list, the Chief Minister will continue to oversee 18 major departments, including General Administration, Home, Personnel, Vigilance, Finance, Appointment and Training, and Information & Public Relations. These departments are considered the backbone of governance, ensuring direct control over administrative decisions and law and order.
The remaining departments have been distributed among other ministers, assigning them specific responsibilities to ensure efficient execution of departmental work. Sources suggest that this new allocation will enhance coordination and help accelerate the implementation of development projects on the ground.
Recently, the Chief Minister expanded his cabinet by appointing legislators Khajan Das, Madan Kaushik, Bharat Singh Chaudhary, Pradeep Batra, and Ram Singh Kaida as ministers.
Khajan Das will oversee the Social Welfare, Minority Welfare, Student Welfare and Language in the State.
